We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
As part of the Basque Government's Network of Environmental Centers in a protected area such as the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, all our experiences are aimed at changing the way people think and act in order to do so in a more sustainable way. That is why all the experiences we offer have a low environmental impact, and respect the natural and social environment where we operate. Our guides and professionals are trained in sustainability and have a deep knowledge of this beautiful territory, the only Biosphere Reserve in the Basque Country (Urdaibai). We organize a number of experiences throughout the year ranging from the cleaning of certain ecosystems, workshops, games, courses, guided tours, etc.. At the end of each one of them, we try that each participant assumes a commitment in the form of sustainable gestures, classified in five levels of effort of execution, with the aim of reorienting daily habits of citizenship and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases: https://www.ihobe.eus/publicaciones/52-gestos-frente-al-cambio-climatico In addition, at the end of the year we calculate the CO2 emissions generated by each activity to minimize and / or compensate them.

What is sustainability, and what can we do about it?
The Biosphere Reserves are exemplary spaces in the search for models of life based on sustainable development.
Urdaibai offers us a mosaic of landscapes full of life made up of cliffs, mountains, forests, beaches, rivers, etc.
No less important is the cultural legacy resulting from more than 15,000 years of coexistence between humans and our natural environment.
Soak up sustainability knowing our exhibitions, and enjoying the spectacular views of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve from the viewpoint of the center.
