Chile family holiday, tailor made

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION:
This luxury itinerary has been designed to ensure that it has a positive impact on the planet. We encourage travellers to plan a longer trip farther away and stay longer in one place instead of taking multiple short trips each year.
One of the accommodations, NOI Casa Atacama are passionate about creating unforgettable experiences where they are committed to managing resources that have the least impact on our environment. They have organic vegetable gardens that provide the hotel with their vegetables which reduces the footprint.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE:
When in conservation areas, it was important that we hand-pick lodges that have a positive impact on the environment and actively preserve this for future generations.
For example, NOI Casa Atacama uses solar energy through panels that generate electricity for lighting and is used to heat the water for the hotel. Grey water is reused for the irrigation of the gardens and surrounding areas of the hotel. They also used Eco responsible construction when building the new eco-cabin project and clubhouse.

People

LOCAL ECONOMY:
We promote small lodges that have a positive impact on their surroundings and give back to the local community.
For example, “Hotel Cabaña del Lago”, believes and participates in Corporate Social Responsibility plans and supports the community; one is in Puerto Varas which supports homes for minors.
The hotel also supports the development of ventures, such as CAMM (Center of Art Molino Machmar), First Clean Point in Puerto Varas and Future Public Marina of Puerto Varas. They also ensure they use local suppliers to support local businesses and therefore support the community.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY:
All the guides referred to in this itinerary are employed locally and offer incredible knowledge about the history and communities of Chile. We believe it is essential to have local guides as this provides a more authentic and cultural experience for travellers, as well as being able to show travellers sites off the tourist trail. Employing local guides ensures money goes back into the local community.
