At Best Tour Patagonia, we believe that traveling is much more than just visiting new places: it’s also an opportunity to appreciate and respect them, and to help preserve them.
That is why we are proud to announce that we have joined the Ushuaia Eco Pledge, an initiative that promotes responsible and sustainable practices to protect our city’s natural and cultural environment.
Ushuaia Eco Pledge is a local initiative that invites both residents and visitors to commit to caring for the environment through simple yet meaningful actions. Its goal is to encourage responsible tourism by reducing environmental impact and promoting more responsible habits during stays in Ushuaia.
Inspired by the idea that everyone can bring about positive change through small, everyday actions, the initiative aims to strengthen the bond between visitors to the End of the World and the extraordinary natural environment that surrounds us.
In a region where forests, mountains, peatlands, glaciers, and marine ecosystems coexist in harmony, every action counts in helping to preserve this heritage for future generations.
As a local company, we have the privilege of working every day in some of Patagonia’s most incredible landscapes. We also understand the responsibility that comes with that.
Joining the Ushuaia Eco Pledge means strengthening initiatives that are part of our vision and continuing to adopt new practices to reduce our environmental impact.
Among them:
We are reducing our use of disposable items
In our day-to-day operations, we promote reusable alternatives and strive to minimize the use of single-use products, encouraging more sustainable habits both within the company and among our passengers.
We promote reuse
We encourage the use of refillable bottles, reusable cups, and other items that help reduce waste during the travel experience.
We raise awareness during field trips
Our guides share information about the importance of conserving Tierra del Fuego’s ecosystems, best practices for visiting protected natural areas, and the value of protecting local biodiversity.
During our excursions, we remember the importance of staying on the marked trails, avoiding disruption to the environment, respecting the native flora and fauna, and properly managing the waste generated during the activity.
At our office, operations, sales, vouchers, and receipts are all handled electronically, and signage and marketing activities are also conducted entirely digitally.
Ushuaia is a unique destination. Its rugged natural beauty, southern forests, mountains, and landscapes attract thousands of travelers from around the world every year.
However, these environments are also fragile and require everyone's commitment to their conservation.
That is why we believe that tourism can be a positive force when it is developed responsibly, promoting respect for nature and creating experiences that connect people with the places they visit.
Every field trip is an opportunity to discover, learn about, and appreciate the world around us.
By joining the Ushuaia Eco Pledge, we reaffirm our belief that the best experiences are those that allow us to enjoy nature while helping to protect it.
Because the real challenge isn't just reaching the End of the World, but helping to preserve it.
We invite you to be part of this commitment and to discover Ushuaia in a more mindful, responsible, and environmentally friendly way. 🌿❄️
