Andes and Iguazu Falls vacatiion in Argentina

Planet

This is a tailor-made, independent trip; groups are very small, normally comprised of 2 to 4 people, helping to minimise the negative environmental and social impact.

Travelers will experience the extraordinary beauty of this natural environment: salt deserts and colourful mountains of the Andes, powerful waterfalls, dense jungles, abundant flora and fauna. Useful tips on how to travel responsibly, as well as information on local flora and fauna can also be found in the road book we provide to our travelers.

Fundación Roth: Travelers will have a chance to stay at this ecological center, part of the “Yerba Mate Route”. Visit the oldest mate mill in the province and learn how organic yerba mate is cultivated, surrounded by countless native trees. An interesting project carried out by the foundation is the Tree Nursery where native trees and medicinal plants are grown organically and later used to reforest the surroundings, especially degraded areas.
On this tour, we work with small hotels run by people aware of their environmental responsibilities.

People

We support local employment and communities in our choice of accommodation, tours, restaurants, etc. This trip is no different from others we provide, in that it encourages real interaction between people while respecting the culture, history and customs of each individual community. This carefully planned itinerary includes several villages along the way, where the traveler can gain insight into the local culture: seeing local people go about their daily life, meet and mingle with them.

In these small communities, they will meet local people, eat local produce and have a truly authentic experience, while at the same time supporting local businesses. We always take into consideration the feedback we receive from the local population to try to improve the quality of services in the best way possible.

All travelers are provided with detailed guidelines as to how to travel responsibly. We provide our travelers with a road book with useful information on local culture and customs.

We donate 3% of the total price of this trip to co-fund micro-projects implemented by local schools, associations and ONGs. These are community projects based on education and conservation activities, especially addressed to young people.
