Our commitment to sustainability
Nature tourism depends on a healthy, balanced and beautiful environment, making preservation essential. However, our dedication goes beyond the professional: we preserve because we love nature. Conservation is not just an obligation of our work, but a fundamental value that guides our lives.
When we talk about the environment, we don't just mean nature, but the integration of all the elements: the local population, their history and culture.
Our sustainable practices
-
We encourage the use of reusable bottles and containers to store water and snacks;

We collect garbage found on the trails and dispose of it properly;

We guide and explain to those taking part in our activities how to behave appropriately when encountering wildlife: observe without interfering.
