Being a responsible tour operator in today's world is extremely important, and that's what Bamba Adventures is all about. The world is changing and our sustainable tourism policies are as well, but our commitment to be socially conscious, and our grassroots travel style creates consciousness in each an every traveler that embarks on a Bamba Adventure. We work with local communities in Mexico & Guatemala to create sustainable development through Home Stays, and different tourism ventures that help local economies but minimizing the negative enviromental and cultural effect on the different towns we visit.
We are working on becoming impact neutral. We are creating Carbon Cero policies so passengers and Bamba can contribute to carbon offsetting. Working with the Mexico & Guatemalan government we have many projects towards a neutral environmental impact. The initiatives include planting trees, having green powered offices, using recycled paper brochures and office products. We work hand in hand with a local Maya family near Panajachel. A group of 30 families now have an extra room in their house in order for Bamba travelers to have a real travel experience, while giving back to the communities. Each Bamba traveler pays $15 USD p/person p/night to the local family to have dinner, sleep in their house and have breakfast. Both travelers and the community have benefited from this project since it opens the eyes of the travelers to see and experience how local villagers live and it helps the local communities to develop into better housing, better education and better basic living conditions.
