At Iraola Hotel Boutique we are committed to caring for the environment and biodiversity, maintaining harmony with our environment and providing quality services to our guests. To achieve this, we permanently seek innovation and continuous improvement, through training and teamwork, as well as actively participating in local initiatives for the sustainable development of Cafayate. 

We ensure that we comply with current applicable regulations related to the environment and biodiversity, historical and cultural heritage, safety and health, and other regulations applicable to our activity. Likewise, we assume the principles of sustainable tourism defined in the World Charter for Sustainable Tourism+20. We identify and strive to prevent and minimize our environmental impacts through good practices in the use of resources, waste management, and conservation of our environment. We also invite our guests to help us value the natural and cultural resources of our region and take care of them. We promote local development by supporting producers in our region, prioritizing purchasing from local or eco-friendly suppliers, always within a fair trade framework. 

Because Iraola Hotel Boutique is not only a place to relax for those who visit Cafayate, it is also the natural heritage of all its inhabitants, today and tomorrow.

Tourism and travel are a means of personal and collective development and must be practiced with an open mind, mutual tolerance and as a learning of diversity among people's cultures. 

We suggest for a happy stay that:

1. OBSERVE with respect the traditions and cultural practices of the place you visit. It will be a transformative experience.  
2. TAKE CARE of the natural environment. Protect FLORA and FAUNA and their habitat. Do not buy products made from endangered plants and animals. 
3. RESPECT natural resources, Artistic, Archaeological, Architectural and Cultural Heritage.
4. CONTRIBUTE to the economic and social development of a community. Buy local crafts and adhere to fair trade principles.  
5. BE PRUDENT and avoid behavior that may offend the customs or sensibilities of the local population. 
6. INFORM YOURSELF about the health situation of your destination, so that your health and safety are not in danger.
7. AVOID all trafficking of dangerous or prohibited substances or products: weapons, drugs, antiques, protected species, etc.
