Certifications
Activities in natural environments always offer risks and that´s why without safety measures adventure sports and tourism cannot be made.
The Brazilian Regulation was created with the purpose of attesting to the national and international market quality, safety and sustainability of the services offered by Brazilian companies and to help the client that is looking for these services to easily identify the best company for its needs. These norms indicate the best practices and what companies should do to meet the new requirements and orientations of the law.
The program Safety Adventure was created on a great conjunct action between the Ministry of Tourism and the National SEBRAE. This program is focused on orienting the companies to adopt risk management practices and companies best practices as a whole, guaranteeing that they would be prepared on the future to get the Inmetro certification (the most know quality certifying organism in Brazil).
Get to know the actions and projects that we support
FIRST ADVENTURE PROJECT
This Project was developed to show the beauties of Chapada Diamantina for its own residents, natives of the region that never had access to the places visited by lots of tourist due to the costs with transport, food and entrance fees.
The first tour was in October 2010 with a group of 16 people. Because of the success of this first edition the First Adventure became a permanent program of the company, happening once a year. On the last years the project started to work in partnership with schools from the region.
For this project to happen we count on the support of our partners, Canto das Águas Hotel, Canto do Bosque and Vila Serrano Posadas, Lapa Doce and Pratinha Caverns, besides our whole team of guides, drivers and other volunteers involved.
HUG THE NATURE PROJECT
One of the biggest problems of Lençóis city is the lack of adequate destination for the solid waste and our goal is to reduce and recycle the amount of waste produced by us and our clients. Besides taking care of our city we hope that these actions serve as an example to our visitors on their daily lives, reflecting on their behavior back on their own cities. The lack of correct waste destination is a problem all over the world and we believe that with small gestures we can help to change this reality.
RECYCLING OF TRAIL SNACKS PACKAGES
In order to avoid the use of plastic bags that quickly turn into waste our company was a pioneer on the use of personalized paper packages, 100% made with recycled materials. After the use, every package is collected and send to two NGOs that we support:
- Brava Gente NGO: they recycle our packages together with other materials from the office´s waste, making art and giving a new use for the things that would turn into garbage.
- GAL (Environmentalist Group of Lençóis): they transform the packages into compost, serving as a natural fertilizer for the plants.
How can you help
- You are already helping by the simple fact of visiting the region. Part of what you pay for the tours is directed to the local workers. You are generating sustainable tourism daily, from the local guide, to the person that prepares the snacks, to the native people who receives us on their homes during the trails.
- Respect the nature generating minimum impact on the tours.
- Choose to refill your water bottle to the next day instead of buying a new disposable PET every day.
- If you wish you can contribute with the local NGOs with donations of any kind, including your old shoes, which will be given to the team of Professor Marcos Lima. He works with insertion of young people in sports through running competitions.
- Spread this idea when you are back home. Practice sustainable actions on your daily life (with actions like recycling, separating and reducing your waste) and you will be an example for all the people around you.
