Principles of Sustainability

As organizer of trekking tours in Patagonia, we are confronted with a dilemma that almost every tour-provider in ecologically and socially unspoiled regions knows: Offering "outdoor activities" we contribute to changing just what was the original inspiration for our doing - namely the breathtaking nature and authentic warmth of the locals.


What 15 years ago began as friendship-project with our guide Bernabé, has today developed into a professionally managed company and the friendship has become part of the partnership. To maintain the original momentum of our endeavors, we have developed a series of guiding principles:

 

  • We try to convey to our guests that participatin in a wilderness tour is not just an adventure, but first and foremost a privilege.
  • We seek the path, not the destination and authenticity is more important to us than perfection and artificial harmony.
  • It's better to operate as network with locals than to offer all services alone.
  • keep business small and personal.
  • And last but not least: nothing is left or buried on a tour; we bring back the human waste.
