BE SUSTAINABLE

sustainable lifestyle through the art of hospitality

our 4 pillars

Sustainable Hotel

The DNA of sustainability planned in the ecological hotel, with KM 0 cuisine with products from local producers and aretesanos that inspire guests.

Ecological Footprint

Leaving the minimum footprint is the objective, that is why we care about being Carbon Neutral and with a minimum water footprint, Zero Waste policy and energy efficiency.

Local Community

Being authentic hosts of our Patagonia, we are for our local community in Villa La Angostura and we work for the well-being of our staff.

Unique Biodiversity

We set out to conserve the nature that surrounds us because it is what gives us true meaning to what we do and what we are, which is why we added 15 hectares as a Nature Reserve.

Local Artisans

At Las Balsas we promote the sale and consumption of products from local artists and artisans as a genuine way of supporting the community and the history of the place. We invite you to learn about the work of Bea Taverna and her art throughout the hotel, Jorge Virasoro, who together with his son are recognized by UNESCO as incomparable cabinetmakers, with Claudia Caligaris, a textile artist who paints her silk scarves with natural inks, a unique artistic work on fabric. We are a community and we transfer the positive impact of our guests' visits to the community.

Red de Reservas Naturales de Aves Argentinas

After a long road, our Nature Reserve has become an official member of the "Red de Reservas Naturales" (Nature Reserve Network) of the historic 105-year-old naturalist organization Aves Argentinas. This implies a commitment from Las Balsas to protect the native forest of our 15 hectares and to be ambassadors for the conservation of our Patagonia.
