At Say Hueque, caring for the land that welcomes us is not philanthropy. It’s not a marketing tool or a trend. It’s our duty.
Because traveling connects us to nature, to people, and to the places that host us, and with that connection comes responsibility:
to give back more than we take.
Beyond Sustainable
is all about making a
positive impact on the
places we love exploring.
SDG aligned
We align our efforts with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that every initiative we undertake contributes to a better future for our planet and its people
Our plan is to PLANT
SDGs: 13 (Climate Action), 15 (Life on Land), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).
Patagonia is more than a destination—it’s where our journey began and where our hearts remain rooted.
In the Río Tigre Natural Reserve near Cholila, Chubut, the echoes of wildfires that ravaged its native forests have motivated us to take bold action. With every traveler who joins us, we contribute to healing this awe-inspiring region by planting 10 native trees per trip.
As part of our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we’ve set an ambitious new target: 500,000 trees planted in Patagonia by 2030. This goal represents a promise—not just to Patagonia, but to the planet and future generations.
Our work goes beyond planting. ReforestArg funds nurseries that create local jobs, while volunteer planting drives unite communities in a shared purpose.
Expanding horizons through travel
SDGs: 1 (No Poverty), 4 (Quality Education), 10 (Reduced Inequalities)
We collaborate with Lechería de la Solidaridad, a nonprofit community center in Buenos Aires. Since 1986, La Lechería has provided education, support, and vocational training to children and adolescents.
Their programs include daily school assistance, creative workshops, and meals to ensure children receive proper nutrition. Beyond meeting immediate needs, La Lechería fosters hope and empowerment for a brighter future.
Together, we create tours and excursions that allow children to explore their city and country, expanding their knowledge and understanding through tourism. This initiative inspires curiosity, broadens horizons, and deepens their connection to their cultural and natural heritage.
By supporting La Lechería, we contribute to their transformative mission, helping to create opportunities for growth and reduce inequalities in this vulnerable community.
Empowering community- based tourism
SDGs: 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities)
Just across the river from La Boca, a popular tourist district in Buenos Aires, lies Isla Maciel—a vibrant yet often overlooked community. Despite facing historical challenges, local leaders have spearheaded a community tourism initiative that’s transforming perceptions and creating opportunities.
We collaborate with this project to position tourism as a driving force for economic development. Our support includes providing strategic connections, assisting with promotion, and helping to attract visitors who contribute to the local economy.
Additionally, we sponsor a heritage recovery project at the Museo Comunitario Isla Maciel. This initiative aims to preserve and display elements from a historic conventillo, showcasing the community’s cultural and architectural history.
Community-oriented
We believe in the transformative power of travel for the sustainable development of local communities.
We prioritize working with small, family-run operators, promoting independent local accommodations over chain hotels.
By choosing to travel with Say Hueque, you can be assured that at least 80% of what you pay directly benefits the community.
Zero-plastic policy
We offer trips free of single-use plastics.
We hold our suppliers to high standards, insisting that they replace single-use plastics, such as bottles, containers, and disposable cutlery, with durable and sustainable materials.
This is a commitment we renew year after year, as we strive to minimize our environmental impact and contribute to a healthier planet.
Through this initiative, we save more than 9,200 plastic bottles a year.
Global Commitment
We sign world treaties to fight against climate change.
Some of the global commitments to sustainable tourism we have signed:
- We are proud to announce that we have become a signatory of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism
- We have acceded to the Guiding Principles of Future of Tourism
- We have also signed the initiative of the Tourism Declares Climate Emergency.
Proud to be a B Corp
Our commitment has always revolved around using travel as a force for good.
In 2023, we took a crucial step by becoming a certified B Corp™, joining a growing global community of businesses practicing sustainability.
Being a B Corp is a journey of learning and growth, not a final destination. We consistently explore new ways to protect natural spaces and communities in every destination, offering authentic and transformative experiences for our travelers.
