Pristine Salinas Grande's Positive Impact

Pristine runs on purely renewable energy but has embedded sustainability into every element of the running of the hotel. That’s because this serene escape has been built on raised wooden platforms to help prevent soil erosion and preserve these beautiful natural surroundings. Importantly, the team contributes to the local economy and culture whenever possible. In fact, they were the first company in Argentina to establish a collaborative business model with an indigenous community in 2021.

Pristine Camps run an impressive ‘triple impact’ model when it comes to sustainability and promoting a more conscious way to travel. The model aims to create positive impact for local community development, environmental impact, and economic development.

In terms of community development, Pristine Camps have an incredible and direct partnership with the local Cachi del Chincho Indigenous Andean community. The community members are collaborative partners in the business and get a lot of say in how Pristine run their camp to ensure it only has a positive impact on the area that they call their home.
