Sustainability policy

Our philosophy is that every traveler and visitor leaves a positive footprint with his trip and generates a contribution in every place he decides to visit in our country.  Helping the economic growth, respecting the environment, community, ethnicity and inhabitant of each region or destination you want to include in your trip to Colombia.

Basándonos en la política de Sostenibilidad, dentro del marco de la norma técnica NTS 003 de 2018 hemos implementado nuestra operación, estándares de servicio y enfocado nuestro portafolio de producto, así como los principios del Código Ético Mundial para el turismo.

Sociocultural:  

We work to support all activities that preserve the cultural heritage of the nation, including them within our tourism programs, for the approach and knowledge of tangible assets, intangible manifestations, products and representations of culture, languages and dialects of indigenous, black and Creole communities, ethnic traditions, ancestral knowledge, cultural landscape, customs and habits,

We organize programs of special natural, historical, artistic, architectural, archaeological, musical, museological or anthropological interest, among others.

Sensibilizamos y promovemos en diferentes acciones con los diferentes grupos de interés que permitan generar conciencia frente a:

  • All forms of exploitation and abuse of children and adolescents.
  • Commercialization and trafficking of wild flora and fauna.
  • Illegal commercialization and trafficking of goods with historical and cultural value at the regional, national and global levels.

Ambiental: 

  • All our activities are focused on making sure that the tourism activity we are carrying out is responsible and friendly with nature and that its objective is to protect natural resources. We monitor the carbon footprint generated by each activity and seek ways to compensate through reforestation projects.  We will work to carry out all the necessary actions for the protection of natural resources that is responsible and friendly with nature. Our goal is to achieve activities that pollute as little as possible and to transmit to tourists the importance of enjoying a trip that cares for and preserves the places they visit.
  • We offset the carbon footprint of the trips. We calculate the CO2 emissions of each trip, and the monetary value goes to reforestation projects.
  • We optimize the use of plastic bottles, using glass bottles and requesting our customers to refill their bottles with water in the special filtration systems for hotels to avoid the use of plastic bottles.
  • Our travelers receive reusable water flasks to use during activities and hikes.
  • Promote internally the responsible use of water and energy.
  • Promote the correct disposal of final waste generated within the company.
  • Participamos en programas de reciclaje de productos de vidrio y plástico.

Through the rejection and dissemination of regulations that criminalize the commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents and the exploitation of child labor.

Economic: 

  • Our activities promote the purchase of goods, services, handicrafts and products manufactured by local people or companies under fair and equitable conditions.
  • A percentage of the profits are used to support vulnerable families in the destinations our travelers visit.
  • We support labor formality, and the fair payment and treatment of guides, drivers, and service providers.

Tips for a responsible traveler

Deja una huella con tu viaje y genera un aporte positivo en cada lugar que decidas incluir en tu recorrido por Colombia.  Te enseñamos algunos consejos importantes a tener en cuenta durante tu viaje.

A través de este documento queremos que seas parte para realizar y fomentar un turismo sostenible.

Dejamos a tu discreción la firma simbólica de la declaración que te convertirá en un turista responsable.

Among the recommendations you will find.

  • Consume local. We invite you to spend the resources you have earmarked for your trip on products and services produced in the destination, try the local cuisine and handicrafts made by local craftsmen.
  • Contribuye a proteger el ecosistema. Alójate en hoteles que realmente ayuden con el ecosistema. Asegúrate que el ecosistema no sea explotado, protegerlo, regenerarlo y ayuda a que crezca.
  • Consume responsibly. Being away from home and paying for a hotel does not mean that energy use and water consumption will be higher than what you usually use. With food, don't waste and serve yourself what you really consume or usually eat. Also ask yourself if it is ethical to have swimming pools or water-intensive golf courses in areas with dry climates or high water pressure.
  • Do not encourage or participate in discriminatory activities. Avoid any attitude and comments or actions that threaten or limit the integrity of people. Listen and value people, culture, race and customs. Become an ambassador of what you know and learned.
  • Favorece la conservación del patrimonio. Sabemos que ahora una de las cosas más importantes es la mejor selfi, pero te invitamos a respetar, si dice que no pases, que no uses, que no hables, debes respetar las reglas. Es parte de la preservación del patrimonio que por uno u otra razón puede afectarse.
  • Promotes fair labor. Try to hire companies that perform their work under decent conditions, timely and fair payments, and legal benefits. Avoid child labor and sexual exploitation under all conditions.
  • Walk or use transportation that helps the environment. To lower your carbon footprint, use bicycles, walk, carry little luggage, choose direct flights, among others.

Don't forget that the planet needs you and it is the one we will leave to our future generation TAKE CARE.
