Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your vacation to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
During our trips, we remove all rubbish from campsites and dispose of it at the end of the trip, with the aim of leaving campsites and other locations as they were found.Where possible, we use locally sourced products and locally run accommodation and food services during trips. Our Chilean camp is staffed by local people, apart from some guides, and uses solar and wind power to provide electricity for lighting. The camp also uses composting toilets.
In our office, we recycle cardboard, paper, milk cartons and other accepted materials. We also use energy-saving light bulbs and purchase fair-trade tea and coffee.
People
To support the local communities, we buy our produce from them along the way, sleep and eat in locally-run establishments where possible, and interact sensitively with people on the riverbanks as we believe in positive cultural exchanges so as not to change their lives.Our camp in Chile uses only local people to run it (apart from some of the guides.
