We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
Conservation of the Natural Environment:
Companies undertake to respect and protect the natural environment during all activities, in order to preserve the natural beauty of Cantabria throughout the year.
The responsible use of natural resources will be promoted and measures will be established to minimize the alteration of the environment, thus guaranteeing a sustainable tourism experience in harmony with nature.
In outdoor activities we encourage our clients to leave no trace. This implies taking everything they bring with them to avoid negative impacts. We make use of marked trails or spaces, as much as possible, so as not to disturb the environment and negatively affect the conservation and experience of other visitors. We avoid damaging vegetation, eroding soil, and disturbing sensitive habitats.
De-seasonalization of tourism:
By offering an immersive experience in the natural environment throughout the year, dependence on peak season is reduced, benefiting both local residents and tourists.
Environmental and Cultural Awareness:
Both companies will makeá n ongoing efforts to educate and sensitize participants about the importance of environmental and cultural conservation in Cantabria.
Information will be provided on the threats facing the environment, and actions that tourists can take to minimize their impact and contribute to sustainability throughout the year will be highlighted.
Responsible energy use and waste management:
From the management of Casa Rural Alvarado, a responsible use of energy will be promoted, transmitting a guide of good practices that will guide the guests to fulfill this objective and reduce the impact of the tourist activity on the environment.
Likewise, a rigorous waste management system is implemented both during the stay and throughout the experience, with the aim of reducing, reusing and recycling materials in all operations. The use of biodegradable products will be promoted and the use of single-use plastics will be minimized to reduce the environmental impact and maintain the natural beauty of Cantabria for future generations.
