This weekend we would like to highlight our some of our best sustainable tourism adventure options in South America!
Hiking and Camping in Argentina
Hiking is a growing trend for independent travelers in search of a personal challenge and a closer contact with nature. It also implies a conscious decision on behalf of the hiker to adopt a simpler, less cluttered approach while spending time outdoors. Hiking experiences prove that we don't need that much stuff to be happy and satisfied. Check out these low-impact hikes in Argentina:
- 4-Day Northwest Argentina: Trekking to the Clouds
- 3-Day Tierra del Fuego: Trekking at the End of the World

Discover the multiple facets of a country filled with nature, adventure and the passion of its people in an absolute environmentally friendly and sustainable manner— a complete active experience that explores the rich Andean highlands, perfectly preserved colonial cities, cloud forests, pristine Caribbean beaches, rich rainforest and a 5th century lost stone city.
Brazil Sustainable Trekking
Where there used to be coffee, diamonds, and agriculture, today stands Chapada Diamantina National Park where several small communities live.

It is a win-win situation where the families have a better income, improving their lives and the hikers have a better overnight and deeper, more meaningful, cultural experience.
