Making a Difference - Tour Synergy

MAKING A
DIFFERENCE

We are acutely aware of the social and environmental challenges facing Bolivia, therefore we are deeply committed to addressing these concerns.

TOUR SYNERGY has the the objective of creating long-term benefits in two key Sustainable Development Goals:

Hunger Zero: by supporting communities with low resources in most of the departments of Bolivia.
Life on Land: by supporting the reforestation efforts of the Bolivian Amazon Rainforest.

To accomplish this, we formed valuable strategic alliances with specialized NGOs to effectively support these areas, ensuring your travel has a meaningful impact.

Bolivian Andes Reforestation and Agroforestry

The Andes is home to The Andes condor, the world’s largest flying bird of prey, the Viscacha, cousin to the Chinchilla and special species of plants and trees. Besides, the highlands are inhabited by indigenous Quechua and Aymara communities.

But without trees and other vegetation, less and less water can be retained in the soil. The water washes away immediately, causing serious shortages during the dry season and erosion during heavy rainfall.

In order to improve the quality of life for the people in the area and to restore the affected grounds, a change is necessary. We are going to achieve this by donating one tree planting per tour, with the help of Trees for All, a recognized charity in charge of planting trees in Bolivia and worldwide.

Bolivian Bank of Food

In Bolivia, 23.1% of the population is undernourished, with a significant percentage of children living in poverty. We aim to support the Sustainable Development Goals by backing initiatives of the Food Bank of Bolivia.

The “Bolivian Bank of Food” collects surplus food from various sectors. After a process of registration, inspection, selection, and classification, the food is distributed to nursing homes, orphanages, and food kitchens across Bolivia.

When you travel with us, you also contribute to this cause, as percentage of every trip sold will go towards helping to feed a bolivian child for a month through the work of B.B.F. Together, we will help in reducing the hunger in Bolivia.
