At the Piedra de la Iglesia (Church Rock), Constitución, Maule Region, Chile.

Welcome! This blog is a continuation of the one
I published between 2011 and 2013 as part of the contribution to the
dissemination of World Responsible Tourism Day by the tour operations company, Southern
Cone Journeys, which my sister Paula and I created to receive tourists in
Chile.
Unfortunately, we were forced to close the
company because our expectations were not met regarding the supposedly growing
ecotourism and responsible tourism markets in North America and Europe. Of
course, the recent economic crises did not help either.
Nevertheless, those two years in business gave
us the opportunity to meet fantastic like-minded people, who strive to improve
tourism in order to leave the world a better place for future generations.
In that spirit, I have decided to migrate the
entries from our previous blog to this new address and to continue with the
effort of promoting responsibility in the tourism industry towards the people
and the environment of the destinations it relies upon.
I invite you to follow me in this new phase!
