At Ibex Adventures we operate an eco-friendly holiday program. We have accepted our responsibility to help look after the planet we live in and respect nature.

Not only do we have a social and environmental responsibility but also we strive to minimise our impact to the planet and help to preserve it in any way that we know how.

The beautiful landscapes, varied wildlife, and local Spanish people all play an important role in our holidays. Its vital to us that we not only try to minimise our impact but also play an active role in protecting and preserving them.

This isn't just about the business for us. We also live our personal lives to an eco-lifestyle as much as possible and try to encourage others to do the same.

Below is an outline of the key practices that we embrace

Small Groups
The maximum group size we ever have is ten. Smaller groups mean less impact while also giving you more enjoyment.

Respect Local Cultures.
We want to give you an authentic experience of 'real' Spanish people and culture. We can do this by using smaller local suppliers or locally based people and employ local guides who understand local communities and surroundings.
We will also endeavour to respect the environment, the traditions, way of life and cultural practices of the local people.

Local Products
Whenever possible we use local produce and seek to use the local businesses helping to sustain the local economy.

Work with Local Conservation Groups
Much of the riding we do is in National Parks and also working forests. By coordinating with conservation groups we can ensure that the trails we ride on will avoid any sensitive areas whilst helping to maintain existing trails.

Recycle
We actively seek to recycle as much as possible.This can be obvious things like paper and bottles or office supplies, but also any other equipment we buy for the business such as bicycles. Wherever possible we'll re-use perfectly good parts as spares. It makes good sense to spend more on quality equipment that is likely to last much longer.

Paper Free Office
We don't print glossy brochures. Instead we encourage our customers to view the web site. As far as possible bookings will be taken electronically and only ever send written material through the post when absolutely necessary.

Renewable energy sources whenever possible
We seek to source renewable energy sources whenever possible. When this is not practical we will endeavour to use the energy suppliers which are the most environmentally conscious.

Less is More!
Its not all about recycling. Using less products in the first place is much better than recycling. We always try to ask ourselves if the product is absolutely necessary.

Encourage our clients to recycle
Encourage the reduction of water and energy usage. Promote the use of systems for collecting, recycling or safe disposal of litter encourage relevant suggestions to minimise damage to the environment, wildlife and marine ecosystems.

Constant learning process
We all as tourists have a responsibility for respecting and conserving a location's economic, environmental, and socio-cultural balances.

Adopting these practices makes a lot of sense. It helps to keep our costs to a minimum, so we can pass savings on to you. It also helps maintain the outstanding beauty of this area so we can all appreciate it.

We are constantly learning about how we can improve our responsible tourism policy and reduce any negative environmental effects.We actively encourage the input of our guests.
