Surtrek offset Carbon emissions of its travels...
The problematic of climate change is an issue that we can no longer ignore. The international community has recognized the stakes and develops measures to fight against this phenomenon. But to get real changes, everyone must take its responsibility and implement concrete measures.
Tourism is a growing industry in Ecuador and in the world. But emissions of greenhouse gases produced by the international air transports are significant and still unavoidable. Facing this problem, Surtrek has implemented a policy of environmental responsibility with our partner Vitalideas (http://www.vitalideas.info) to minimize its environmental impacts.
Surtrek offsets CO2 emissions generated by the inevitable air travels of its clients. Therefore, our agency is involved in reforestation programs in the Ecuadorian Amazon, protection of primary forests and community development.

So, all our trips include a small proportion of "carbon credits" that fund programs for CO2 offset, while improving environmental and social conditions of rural communities.
Traveling with Surtrek, you make the choice of an eco-responsible tourism, which can provide alternatives to communities and generate profound changes based on sustainable use of resources.
