Argentina & Chile Patagonia vacation

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.
This is a journey through the Chilean and Argentinean Patagonia. Much of the trip is spent in pristine nature, including some pristine National parks. Our travelers are briefed by local guides as to how to minimise their impact on the environment. Advise includes staying on marked tracks, only picnicking on designated areas and disposing of all waste responsibly.
Travelers will experience the extraordinary beauty of this natural environment: millennial native rainforests, snow-capped volcanoes, waterfalls and lakes. 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.
On this tour, we work with authentic lodging run by people aware of their environmental responsibilities. Most of the accommodation consists of traditional constructions, often built using local materials such as native woods.

People

We want local populations to benefit from the resources generated by tourism, by putting as much as possible back into the local communities. We support local employment and communities in our choice of accommodation, tours, locations, etc. 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.
During this trip, travelers will have a chance to familiarize with customs and traditions of local Mapuche both in Argentina and Chile. 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 support local educational projects. Each year, we support and develop educational programs focused on ancestral cultures and the environment, thanks to a solidarity development fund generated by our travelers.
