Community Tourism
Ten days of immersion in the Calchaquí Valleys living alongside farming families: horseback rides, weaving, ceramics and artisanal wineries in Cafayate, Corralito and Santa Rosa. De la Paz Tur is committed to promoting the use of accommodation and excursions that care for the natural and social environment, giving preference to those with sustainability certification. The company will not contract services involved in forced labor or that employ children, nor will it tolerate child prostitution at the venues or accommodations it hires, and it will terminate any contractual agreement if the provider fails to take adequate measures to prevent the sexual exploitation of children within its premises.
