GOING GREEN

Sustainable travel is still a new concept in Bolivia, but one that’s growing fast. Many entrepreneurs have jumped on the bandwagon, but the tricky task is recognizing a truly sustainable operation that has Bolivia’s environmental and cultural values in high regard. Our authors have highlighted choices that contribute to sustainable tourism in Bolivia, whether it’s by using alternative energy, helping to preserve the environment, supporting sustainable development of local and indigenous communities or promoting Bolivia’s cultural and architectural heritage.
