Sustainable tourism isn’t just a passing trend—it’s a necessity. Nowadays, young travelers aren’t just looking for cool vibes and exciting experiences; they also want to stay in places that align with their values. At Pariwana Hostels, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this movement, embracing sustainable practices in every one of our locations.

Curious about how we’re making a difference? Keep reading to discover how you can join a movement that protects the planet while enjoying your journey to the fullest.

Our Commitment to Recycling and Waste Reduction

At Pariwana, we know that small actions can create big change. That’s why all our locations have implemented a recycling system with clearly marked bins for separating plastic, glass, paper, and other materials. This ensures that recyclable waste is disposed of properly, reducing our environmental impact.

We’re also proud to be part of the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, committing to reducing the use of plastic, particularly single-use items. From straws to unnecessary packaging, we’re eliminating everything we can to help protect the planet.

Protecting Resources: Saving Water and Energy

Every resource counts, and we’ve taken concrete steps to optimize water and energy usage:

• Water-saving measures: We’ve installed water-saving showerheads, faucets, and dual-flush toilets in all our facilities. Guests are also encouraged to reuse their towels, which significantly reduces water used for laundry.
• Energy efficiency: All of our locations use LED lighting and energy-efficient equipment, which helps reduce our carbon footprint.

These steps reflect our commitment to resource conservation without compromising comfort or quality.

Sustainable and Delicious Food

At Pariwana Hostels, sustainability extends to our kitchen. Here’s how:

• Vegetarian and vegan options: We offer delicious and eco-friendly meals for those who prefer a plant-based lifestyle.
• Local sourcing: Most of the ingredients we use come from local producers, reducing transportation-related emissions while supporting regional economies.
• Composting: Organic kitchen waste is transformed into compost, which we use to fertilize the plants at our hostels. This creates a perfect sustainability cycle where nothing goes to waste.

Can it get any better? Eating well while helping the environment is always a win.

Innovation: Rainwater Harvesting and Oil Recycling

At our Cusco location, we’ve gone the extra mile by implementing a rainwater harvesting system. This resource is used to water plants and for cleaning purposes, significantly reducing the use of potable water.

We’ve also partnered with local companies to recycle the used cooking oil from our kitchens. This prevents pollution of water and soil while giving the oil a new purpose, such as producing biodiesel.

Be Part of the Change: A Sustainable Experience for All

At Pariwana Hostels, sustainability isn’t just a responsibility—it’s an opportunity to enhance your travel experience. We encourage every guest to actively participate in our initiatives, whether it’s sorting their waste or opting for plant-based meals.

Our goal is to show that traveling responsibly doesn’t mean giving up comfort or fun. In fact, protecting the planet adds a special meaning to every trip you take.
