Connessioni Profonde alla Comunità
Etnica is committed to providing fair wages and sustainable income for the local partners they work with. By employing local guides and offering homestay programs, they have helped to generate income for families in the area. They have also implemented a savings program that helps local families fund home improvements, such as water filters, water heaters, and ecological stoves. Additionally, Etnica participates in Pack for a Purpose, collecting donations from travelers to support local education initiatives.
Tutela Ambientale Attiva
Etnica collaborates with local communities and guides to provide travelers with an authentic and immersive experience. These tours support sustainable practices in rural areas where communities often rely on the land for their livelihood. Etnica also partners with organizations such as ABIMA (Marine Biology Association of Guatemala) to support environmental and community-based tourism initiatives. This way, the proceeds from the tours directly benefit these organizations.
Qualità e Autenticità Eccezionali
Etnica offers tours that aim to preserve and share local traditions with travelers. These tours may include activities such as learning how to make ceramics, weave, create naif art, or engage in traditional fishing. Through these experiences, travelers can learn how fishing, farming, and local cuisine are all interconnected and essential to the culture of the community. Etnica's local partners continue to practice these traditions and share them with travelers.
