Bolivia salt lakes, lagunas & volcanoes vacation

Planet

The hotels we use in this part of Bolivia are built using locally available materials, including stone and salt, and are designed to suit the surrounding landscape.
Guest rooms have private bathrooms, with solar energy used for hot water and heating.
Each hotel has a restaurant serving buffet-style meals that include locally sourced produce where available.

We use recycled and recyclable materials in our UK operations where possible. We also use low-energy light bulbs and choose biodegradable products where possible.

People

This is one of the poorest parts of Bolivia where there is a problem of depopulation as local Aymara communities really struggle to survive. The hotels have been built in partnership with four local communities, which are actively involved in their construction and on going running, and benefit from the income from tourism.
The hotels were developed in partnership with four local Aymara communities, which have been involved in their construction and ongoing operation. The hotels are located on land rented from the communities, with tourism revenue providing an additional source of local income.

The hotels employ local people and purchase local produce where possible, directing part of the tourism expenditure towards the surrounding communities.
