Patagonia, Atacama and Rapa Nui all possess a great treasure: the people who live there. We are committed to actively promoting the well-being and development of these local communities and our commitment can be seen on all of our Patagonia, Atacama and Rapa Nui travel vacations.
Our commitment to local communities is based on two principles:
Donating time, because we believe that the most efficient support is not just financial, but also the sustained, direct commitment of our presence and skills.
Giving opportunities, as we believe that the best way to help local communities is to create real, new opportunities for their members, thus giving them effective tools to help them develop.
Our guides are key to implementing this policy, as they are the ones who best know and most closely interact with the cultures in the places where we operate.
