Since 1974, June 5 of each year is celebrated World Environment Day, on the initiative of the UN and whose agenda is directed by the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), as one more way of to make us aware of the risks facing the planet, through the implementation of various awareness-raising activities around the world. Greenhouse gas emissions or ever-increasing polluting waste, among other things, are causing this continuous pollution and progressive global warming that leads us directly to the loss of habitats, the disappearance of species and the poisoning of our waters, our seas, our fields, our air.
Being aware of how worrying the situation is and that Action at the global and individual level must be imminent, this day so marked on the calendar (or so it should be), since La Dehesa Experiences We want to make our small contribution by trying to raise awareness among our customers and thus promoting sustainable tourism..
Because, we agree, technology and environmental advances are essential to reverse the situation. But deep down, The key is in each one of us so that, by doing what we must and leading by example, we can all move this enormous mountain, made up of infinite grains of sand, that we face.
Our contribution from La Dehesa Experiences
Far from being pessimistic, but keeping our feet on the ground, We want to celebrate this World Environment Day with you by encouraging you to reduce your negative impact., each one from his own possibilities, even when you travel and enjoy a few days of leisure. Because we are convinced that a healthier planet is possible and that Together, with will, we can achieve it.
For our part, These are some of the efforts we have been making since La Dehesa Experiences started walking to reduce our footprint and that of our customers, while promoting responsible tourism.
Fully integrated accommodations
Located in the heart of the Sierra Morena in Cordoba, La Dehesa Experiences has 6 accommodations perfectly integrated into nature that surrounds them. They offer, however, all the comforts, luxuries and technology you could ever need. Without being, therefore, at odds with the landscape, much less with the flora and fauna of the place.
Not a single tree cut down
In fact, for the construction of these cabins, Not a single tree was cut down, nor was the original habitat altered.. For example, in the Hide Suite, the railing of the access staircase was adapted to respect the branches of one of the neighbouring trees.
Sustainable materials
On the other hand, the materials that were used for the construction of each of our accommodations are completely sustainable and environmentally friendly. Tarpaulins for the roof, pine wood for the walls and floor and chestnut wood for the structures. Of course, no cement or concrete.
Efficient use of energy
In addition to all this, in La Dehesa Experiences We are very concerned about making the most efficient use of energy possible. In this way, and apart from using renewable energy for our daily activity, the construction, layout and materials of the cabins have been designed to optimize air conditioning and energy saving of each of them. Like African safari tents, our suites and junior suites have a double canvas that acts as a effective thermal insulatorDouble glazing, perfect sealing of doors and windows, and walls and floors made of wood also contribute to maintaining a ideal temperature in these accommodations both in winter and summer. All this results in a considerable energy savings.
Restricted access to electric vehicles
One of the things that the author tries to teach us World Environment Day is that we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. And one of the ways is by parking conventional vehicles whenever possible. Thus, Access to each of our suites and junior suites can only be made with our electric buggyWe therefore try to respect and take the utmost care of this beautiful Sierra Morena area where we find ourselves.
Zero kilometer products
On the other hand, you will agree with us that it is a good idea to celebrate the World Environment Day with a delicious meal with local gourmet products. In La Dehesa Experiences We offer you a letter with exquisite dishes based on local ingredients to enjoy in your room. And we also offer you a wine cellar with Andalusian wines and a fridge with gourmet snacks, also from local sources. A delicious way to contribute to this noble and necessary purpose.
Nature-friendly activities
Finally, in La Dehesa Experiences We propose a series of Activities that promote love, respect and care for our environment and of all the beings that make it up. Photo hides, hiking routes, horseback riding, the wonderful spectacle of the rutting season, olive oil tourism, stargazing... And so many, and so many more activities so that you can live, enjoy and practice truly sustainable tourism.
Happy World Environment Day!
