Along the values we share with our customers and partners regarding nature, we have decided to participate in giving back to mother earth what we take away from her. In our last trip hiking in the Pyrenees with Laurel & Mark from Denver; Colorado, we have obtained a Carbon Offset Certificate. Calculating the amount of CO2 spill into atmosphere during those days, we have compensated it participating in a reforestation project in the State of Para, in Brazil. Little seeds for a future carpet of new natural wonders covering the earth. The post Carbon Offset Certificate appeared first on ..read more

Step by step, side by side, we have built a path full of experiences, mixes of past and present, sweet smiles, villages lost in time, caves and waterfalls, rivers and lakes, beech and oak forests …. Life. The warm hug of my friend Gontzal arriving to his rural Hotel Ansotegi: “Welcome walkers, w ..read more

Along two days, with a hard weather forecast, we had the chance to live a beautiful experience in nature around Larra-Belagua nordic ski area in the Navarre Pyrenees.
