By Grupo Ecológico Sierra Gorda
With its exuberant natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, the Sierra Gorda is a treasure that deserves to be rediscovered from a different perspective, and the new generations are clear: More awareness when traveling, more experiences to bring home. That is why Grupo Ecológico Sierra Gorda has promoted the evolution of tourism in this region for 36 years so that it not only seeks economic prosperity, but also prioritizes the preservation of the environment and the well-being of local communities.
Community-Based Tourism: Engine for Sustainable Development
One of the most notable aspects that Grupo Ecológico has developed through community tourism in Sierra Gorda is its commitment to the conservation of the natural environment.
This region is home to a diversity of impactful ecosystems; from forests to rivers and breathtaking waterfalls. By promoting responsible and sustainable tourism, the conservation of these natural resources is encouraged and their uncontrolled exploitation is avoided and, of course, local communities, aware of the importance of keeping their environment intact, actively participate in the preservation of biodiversity and the restoration of habitats.
By practicing community tourism, local communities are supported to be protagonists of their own development, since the economic spillover generated is reinvested in different local projects such as the improvement of infrastructure aimed at sustainability, education or female empowerment, such as the well-known "Ruta del Sabor" project of Grupo Ecológico headed by mountain women who have received all the training and support to provide visitors with unique gastronomic experiences within their restaurants and fondas located in ecological cabins, where they serve local and seasonal delicacies. The income generated by those who travel and visit them have become their economic independence.
What to do in Sierra Gorda from a sustainable approach?
To begin with, Grupo Ecológico's offer is focused on the valorization of nature's services, and covers topics that new generations appreciate and choose within their experiences such as environmental education, community tourism or forest regeneration; Here we achieve what seems more distant every day: the disconnection of an accelerated and digital rhythm, with the reunion of what gives life: nature.
The local guides have official accreditations that make the experiences something worthy to remember and share, in addition to the fact that in each visit we contribute through a donation to the "Carbon Neutral Planet" program to guarantee the compensation of our impact during the visit to Sierra Gorda.
