Sustainability

From the beginning, our aim at Tierra Hotels was to create sustainable lodges with inviting spaces to connect visitors with the beauty of Chile.

In addition, since we were committed to minimizing our impact on the environment during this process, our mission was to find the most effective way of becoming ever-more eco-conscious. As such, we launched initiatives at our sustainable hotels that would meet these demands, including the use of renewable energy, protecting natural resources, overseeing waste management and securing strong relationships with local communities and likeminded organizations. We are certain that, by devoting ourselves to sustainable tourism, we can work to preserve the natural richness and diversity of these lands and continue to inspire travelers from around the world, as they discover the true spirit of Chile.

Our Sustainability Policy

Given that the regions in which our sustainable hotels are located – the Atacama Desert, Chiloé and Patagonia – all possess different needs and priorities; our sustainability policy is based on three pillars and 10 commitments, which are adapted to each geographical region.

Environmental

We have environmentally friendly architecture and design
We respect and preserve biodiversity
We conserve energy
We cherish water
We avoid waste
We reduce pollution

Sociocultural

We value the local heritage and culture
We partner with like-minded foundations to support our efforts

Economic

We seek visitor satisfaction
We encourage local prosperity

Sustainability at Tierra Atacama

Tierra Atacama is our best example of how sustainable initiatives can evolve. We are at the forefront of the renewable energy movement in the touristic sphere in South America.

Sustainability at Tierra Chiloé

At Tierra Chiloé, the thriving local culture is woven into each and every space within the hotel. We believe that we are as much a part of the island, as the island is a part of us.

Sustainability at Tierra Patagonia

Positioned in a remote spot just outside Torres del Paine National Park, Tierra Patagonia is a sustainable Patagonia eco lodge, known worldwide for its innovative architecture, which blends naturally into the landscape. A beautifully pristine environment, this now revitalized pampa has benefitted from our conservation efforts and focus on minimizing our footprint, from the daily operation within the hotel, to excursions across the National Park.

Inspired by Nature

We chose remote and inspiring destinations for our sustainably designed hotels, seeking out special locations that afford privileged views of the stunning scenery which surrounds each one. Then, we called upon talented Chilean architects to create our hotels using quality materials, while also drawing on age-old construction techniques. To capture each respective destination while within the Tierra hotels themselves, each property’s design pays homage to the local countryside and cultures, with gardens enriched by indigenous plant species and traditional crops, promising a farm-to-fork dining experience for all of our guests.

Our vision

‘Travel is a tool for change; an opportunity to deepen our awareness and connect with the native beauty of Chile and beyond, because being immersed in nature makes it easier to want to protect it and ensure its legacy lives on for future generations.’

Miguel Purcell, Founder of Tierra Hotels.
