Say Hueque Argentina Journeys has reached a significant milestone by planting 100,000 native trees in Patagonia—a major step toward regenerative tourism and environmental conservation. This initiative, undertaken in partnership with ReforestArg, a local NGO dedicated to restoring forests in Patagonia, highlights Say Hueque's deep commitment to preserving the region it loves to explore. By planting 10 trees for every traveler, Say Hueque actively contributes to combating climate change, with these trees collectively offsetting approximately 22,600 tons of CO2 annually.
This ambitious project began in 2020 when Say Hueque recognized the need for greater action. Since then, the company has engaged in multiple large-scale planting efforts, focusing on areas devastated by wildfires, particularly in the Río Tigre Natural Reserve in Cholila, Argentine Patagonia. There, native tree species such as cypresses and coihues have been replanted to restore the region's lost forests.
For Say Hueque, each tree planted represents more than an environmental contribution; it symbolizes a step toward a more connected and conscious world. Reforestation has become central to the company’s mission, encouraging travelers to help preserve the natural beauty of Patagonia while making a positive impact on the environment.
Rafael Mayer, founder of Say Hueque, shared his thoughts on the project: "I feel this is a project where everyone wins—everyone is happy to be part of it. Not only us at Say Hueque, but also the travelers who join us love that we plant 1, 10, or 100 trees in their name. The guides, the collaborators—everyone involved is excited. Somehow, we've managed to channel a lot of good intentions. I can plant 100,000 trees now, but if others hear this story and feel inspired, saying, 'This is a good idea; we could do something similar,' the impact becomes so much greater. The act of planting trees goes beyond this specific action; it creates a ripple effect. Whether it’s planting trees or another initiative, the impact continues to grow."
This achievement is a testament to the dedication of Say Hueque’s team, the travelers who trust them to craft unforgettable journeys, and the communities and partners who support this vision. As Say Hueque continues to lead the way in sustainable tourism, the company remains committed to building a greener future for generations to come.
