Ushuaia ECO Pledge

Would you like, as a traveler to the end of the world, to be part of the movement that conserves and protects Nature?

I am Maia Muriel, born in Ushuaia, from a family of early settlers, and an entrepreneur in the hospitality industry. For several years, I have been leading an environmental movement to improve people's quality of life. That is why I would like to invite you to be part of the solution during your stay

Disposable-Free

Did you know that the island of Tierra del Fuego is the first province in Argentina free of disposables?

Commitment

We invite you to sign a commitment to reduce your plastic footprint during your trip to our island.

Commitment

How can you join?

The island of Tierra del Fuego is the first province in Argentina to go free of single-use disposables.

We’ve made this possible thanks to the deep environmental commitment of our community, and we’d love for you to be part of this positive change. Our aim is to reduce the amount of unnecessary waste we create through everyday habits—waste that ends up accumulating on our beloved island, especially single-use plastics.

The invitation is simple: we encourage you to sign a pledge to reduce your plastic footprint during your stay with us. And to make it easier, we’ll share a few friendly tips to help you along the way.
