How we contribute to sustainability at each Viajero Hostel destination

Since the opening of each destination where we operate in LATAM, we have researched the environment and restored and conserved the space through sustainable infrastructure, design, and operation.

That's why we focus on three pillars, where small actions positively impact our surroundings.

 

Eco-efficiency and Climate Change

 

  1. Reduction of energy consumption
  2. Waste management and circular economy
  3. Water and wastewater management
  4. Reduction of single-use plastic
 
Sustainable Value Chain

 

  1. CO2 emissions into the atmosphere
  2. Environmental assessment of suppliers
 
Biodiversity and Conservation

 

  1. Sustainable infrastructure and design
  2. Identification, promotion, and care of the destination's biodiversity

How do we do it?

In 70% of our operations, we have water-saving toilets.

At Viajero Santa Marta, we collect rainwater and air conditioning runoff to water plants, which are used for cleaning and other daily purposes.
  

At Viajero Buenos Aires, we launched a plastic cap collection campaign that brought together guests, staff, and the local community around recycling and sustainability. The collected caps are donated to the Garrahan Hospital Cooperative, contributing to their social work, and are also transformed, in partnership with Proyecto Mutan, into sustainable products such as trash bins, plant pots, lamps, and sunglasses.

Since 2023, Viajero Bogotá, in collaboration with the District Institute of Tourism and the Glass Museum, has recycled over 95% of Montemanglar brand bottles, transforming them into approximately 68 recycled glasses.

Since 2024, the proper management of used cooking oil has been implemented throughout the chain to promote the circular economy, where the managing company uses it as a raw material for biodiesel production.

AllViajero hostels in Peru have water dispensers that allow our travelers to be mindful of their water consumption and reduce single-use plastics.

At Viajero Buenos Aires, we offer boxed water to decrease single-use plastic.
