Patagonia hiking vacation

Planet

As a local Argentina B Corp Travel Company, we hold a deep appreciation for the Earth's natural wonders and understand the importance of their preservation. However, we believe that sustainability alone is insufficient. Travel, in our view, is a potent instrument for creating a positive impact on the destinations we explore.

CARBON REDUCTION

-Slow, Region-Based Patagonia Routing
The itinerary prioritizes extended stays in El Chaltén, El Calafate, Torres del Paine, and Ushuaia, reducing unnecessary transfers and encouraging deeper exploration within each region rather than frequent relocations.

-Say Bosque Regeneration Commitment
Through Say Bosque initiative, each journey contributes directly to native forest restoration projects in Patagonia, embedding carbon reduction and regeneration into the cost of travel itself. In collaboration with ReforestArg, we plant ten trees for every traveler to contribute to the cherished landscapes we adore.
Twice a year, we journey to Cholila, Chubut – Argentine Patagonia – to plant these trees, playing our part in preserving native forests, bolstering the local community, and giving back to Mother Earth.

-Overland and Shared Connections
Scenic overland routes such as Route 40, cross-border travel to Torres del Paine, and shared transfers help minimize the environmental footprint while enhancing landscape immersion.


ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

-Support for Protected and UNESCO Areas
The itinerary includes Los Glaciares National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Torres del Paine National Park, and Tierra del Fuego National Park, contributing to conservation, trail maintenance, and ecosystem protection.

-Responsible Wildlife Observation
Wildlife encounters during treks and navigations—such as guanacos and condors in Torres del Paine, marine life in the Beagle Channel, and native birdlife in El Chaltén—are carried out under strict low-impact guidelines.

-Environmental Interpretation in the Field
Guided experiences like the Perito Moreno Glacier walkways and Nautical Safari, Grey Glacier navigation, and Beagle Channel cruise provide insight into glaciology, climate change, and Patagonian ecosystems.
