Las Qolqas in The National News: An Earth Day Feature
As Earth Day approaches, we’re humbled to announce that Las Qolqas Eco-Resort was recently featured in The National News among “seven eco-friendly hotels to book for a more sustainable stay.” The article places us in the company of other hotels around the world making bold strides in environmental responsibility.
This acknowledgment affirms something we believe deeply: sustainability is not an extra. It is the foundation.
What They Highlighted — What We Live By
Intimate Scale: With room for only 50 guests, we preserve the spirit of place, letting nature remain the principal host.
Roots Over Imports: From the wood in your bed frame to the shampoo in your bathroom, we commit to sourcing locally — less transport, more local benefit.
From Garden to Plate: The greenhouse kitchen uses seasonal, organic ingredients grown locally or in our own orchards. It’s food with stories.
Closed-loop Systems: Composting and solar systems help us reduce waste and energy use.
Plastic-free by Principle: We no longer rely on single-use plastics — not as a trend, but as a requirement.
Purposeful Experiences: Every guest activity is designed not just for delight, but for local benefit, community support, and mindful engagement.
Why This Matters, Not Just to Us
When a respected outlets highlights your efforts, it’s not vanity — it’s responsibility. It gives visibility to ideas that matter: that luxury can heal, not harm; that tourism can uplift, not extract.
We hope this mention helps more travelers choose their lodgings not just by comfort, but by conscience.
