2020 ha sido el año que nos ha hecho parar. Nunca hemos tenido un mejor momento para evaluar cómo podemos hacer cambios significativos que mejorarán la forma en que viajamos de manera responsable. Según la Adventure Travel Trade Association, una investigación reciente indica que el turismo es responsable del 8 por ciento de las emisiones globales cuando se considera el carbono emitido directamente durante las actividades turísticas, así como el carbono incorporado en los productos adquiridos por los turistas (alimentos, alojamiento, transporte, combustible y compras).

Como empresa local, estamos comenzando a evaluar y abordar nuestras emisiones de carbono. Estamos creando un Plan de Acción Climática, trabajando para convertirnos en una empresa Zero Waste (Cero Basura) y también Carbono Neutral. Dentro de los próximos 12 meses tendremos un plan de acción e implementaremos estos cambios en nuestras operaciones y programas.

Mientras tanto, los pasajeros pueden ayudar a compensar las emisiones de carbono y apoyar a nuestros socios de Torres del Paine Legacy Fund. Viajar a una región es la principal fuente de apoyo financiero que se puede brindar. Pero los efectos de los viajes y el turismo también pueden hacer daño al área, creando la erosión de los senderos, un mayor consumo de energía, y una mayor producción de desechos y emisiones de carbono. Aunque no podemos viajar, todavía podemos encontrar una manera de apoyar y ayudar a nuestros parques nacionales. Los invitamos a donar si puede … ayudar a plantar un árbol en el futuro o financiar proyectos de reforestación o especies invasoras. Estos esfuerzos ayudan a compensar las emisiones de carbono y desarrollar una industria más sostenible que esta vital para una reactivación responsable de nuestro medio ambiente.

We joined the Torres Del Paine 7 day O trek tour - note that this tour is not a complete O Trek but skipping the part from Camp Frances to Las Torres, which worked in our favour as our holiday is limited and we won’t miss much.

Our guide, Debbie was knowledgeable and amicable, and very passionate about hiking.  Unfortunately I fell sick during the hike and wished to leave a day earlier than planned.  Debbie and Chile Nativo quickly rearranged transportation for us and was very helpful.  Throughout the whole process Chile Nativo was very responsive.  We had a memorable journey and I would highly recommend Chile Nativo.

Our guides, Tim & Lucile, were awesome. We really enjoyed their company. They were very knowledgeable about the region (the history, animals, landscape, etc). Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked the independent, self-guided Torres Del Paine trek with Chile Nativo’s help and was so glad I did. When I looked to book on my own, everything was all reserved in Torres Del Paine and Chile Nativo was the only agency that could help me find a spot still. To still be able to go on the trip when I wanted to go, to not have to spend so much time planning all the logistics, to get a local’s recommendations on the best way to do the trek…but STILL get to do the trek on my own was amazing and worth every penny. In particular Paolina at the agency was incredibly helpful. I would recommend this agency to anyone looking to hike in Torres del Paine.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hiking in Torres with Pepa is like walking with your smartest and wisest friend. She has an incredible depth of knowledge in everything from mycology to government, from geology to history. She is fiercely passionate about conservation and our planet and has dedicated her life to making our world a better place. Our two porters Filipe and Bastian were both incredibly strong and highly professional. Always in the know on where to set up the tent, they picked the best spot in every site we were at. Also, they were an absolute blast to hang out with after the long days hiking. I cannot recommend this particular team highly enough and if you are passionate about the environment, making the world a better place, learning everything there is to know about glaciers, mushrooms, Patagonia, the history of Chile, magma intrusions and edible berries request them by name. Thank you to all three of you for making our experience so special and I hope our paths cross again.

A great crew of newly-made friends, guided by Izabella “La Professora”, on a journey beyond expectations. What a great time, a balance of hiking and touring. DO NOT miss the pumas!!! I will definitely go with the Chile Nativo team again, and thanks to Nestor & Juan too!
