Touring the most beautiful corners of the planet is a privilege, and just as the world is able to amaze millions of tourists every year with its landscapes, buildings and cultures, visitors are expected to repay that experience with responsibility and by following a series of recommendations to get to know a destination.
Vertice Travel seeks to make a trip an unforgettable experience, an adventure without mishaps or bad experiences for tourists, but also maintains a strong commitment to sustainability and care for the environment, so it shares suggestions for a responsible and environmentally conscious trip.
The sustained increase of garbage around the world makes it urgent to take care of the waste generated on a trip, for this reason, it is advisable to use bottles and reusable items. Of course, it is essential to dispose of waste in designated places.
Most tourist destinations offer wonders of nature, untamed and unique landscapes, such as those found in the Torres del Paine National Park; there is also the possibility of seeing wild animals in their natural habitat. Respect must be a fundamental principle when admiring this beauty, without intervention, without mistreatment and without damage.
Every national park has its rules and Torres del Paine is no exception. Therefore, before visiting these areas it is recommended to know what activities are permitted and restricted. Generally, you can hike, take photographs, and, in some areas, practice more daring sports such as kayaking; on the other hand, campfires, feeding wildlife, or hunting are prohibited.
Following the instructions of the local authorities at each destination is also a sign of respect, since inappropriate actions by visitors can cause serious damage, such as forest fires, destruction of natural or historical monuments, high economic costs in emergency operations due to accidents or losses, among others.
When planning a trip, the route should be considered and, in the case of needing to travel by plane, it is a contribution to the environment to choose direct flights, since this means of transportation is responsible for large amounts of carbon emissions. For walking around a destination, it is more environmentally friendly to prefer to go on foot, and if the distances are very long, the bicycle can also be an excellent alternative.
To stay or eat, it is advisable to do so with tourist services committed to sustainability, such as Vertice Patagonia, which receives thousands of visitors a year in their shelters and camping sites in strategic locations within the Torres del Paine National Park.
This commitment to responsible travel will make the visit a positive experience for both tourists and the chosen destination.
