Green Guest: A mindful way of hosting

Green Guests

Green Guest is much more than a program: it is our way of integrating sustainability into every moment of the customer experience. From booking to check-out, we strive to ensure that every interaction reflects our values and transforms each stay into an opportunity to generate a positive impact on the environment, on people, and on the planet.

Default No Cleaning
in partnership with WWF Colombia

Default No Cleaning

We invite our guests to participate in the Default No Cleaning program, an initiative that promotes water conservation and reduces the use of detergents and cleaning chemicals. For this reason, we do not provide daily room cleaning unless you request it via WhatsApp or at the front desk, at no additional cost. This initiative offers you greater privacy while helping save up to 2,400 liters of water per month and reduce the use of cleaning chemicals by 31%. In partnership with WWF Colombia, we are committed to protecting Andean ecosystems.

This collaboration reaffirms our commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism through concrete actions that help preserve our ecosystems. According to the Living Planet Report 2026, the Andean bear’s presence in the mountain range has improved by 24%.

Trees that provide income and food

We plant native trees with Indigenous communities in Vaupés and Guainía, in areas of extreme poverty. Each tree is a direct source of income for a family, and the species we plant also produce food. The 4,800 trees planted so far will capture about 5,348 metric tons of CO₂ over the next 45 years.
