Sustainable Practices

We carry out a monthly control and monitoring of water consumption. Use of rainwater for the cleanliness of common areas. Use of protocol AD in bathrooms, kitchen and laundry area. Our guests, collaborators and people interested in the saving and efficient use of water are trained and sensitised. Use of recyclable cans as paper deposit and sanitary towels to prevent blockage in the piping. Use of boxes for cleaning and washing dishes and other materials

Collection and classification of internal waste (kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, administration) and external (guests). Record of control and monitoring of waste generated daily. Provision of cans for the classification of solid residues (glass, plastics, metal) and non-solid (chemical). Reuse of towels, sheets, hoods, boots. The plastic bottles are purchased only once during the guest’s stay, it is allowed to give continuous use for the collection of water and juices as part of the sensitisation of being friends of the environment. Once a week the inspection is carried out to determine the reuse or delivery of solid and non-solid waste to collection centres. Disposal of organic waste for the elaboration of organic compost. Fumigation with organic pesticide made with organic waste from the hotel. Recycling of the Tetra pack milk boxes for the elaboration of the flowerpot. With the result of the organic fertiliser and the cardboard flowerpot the creation of the “Viveroteca” located in a visible place begins. Collaborators and guests are involved in this activity.

Control and monitoring of energy consumption in the hotel by monthly registration. Energy-saving awareness through protocol AD at work sites, cabins, rooms, etc. Commitment to turn off equipment and lights when not in use (TV, fans) in cabins, rooms. Disconnect devices such as computers, fans, printers, at the end of the workday. Before leaving each cabin, room, office and/or workplace it is verified that everything is turned off. Review and maintenance of electrical equipment and installations on a regular basis.

Our staff is the bedrock of our organisation and is made up of 80 per cent women in an otherwise male-dominated industry. The team seeks to provide a professional service, constant attention to details and ability to solve problems in an often time challenging environment. The Amazon, with resulting difficulties with technology and infrastructure, it is not an excuse for not doing our best to deliver quality services! Furthermore, all of our employees are fully aware of sustainable work policies (nuevo link a políticas ambientales del hotel, texto más abajo) and apply them in their daily activities to reduce our impact on the environment.
