Our Inspira-tion: Caring for Argentina's North

We couldn't kick off our blog with a more appropriate post - honoring Carmen Salva of Tilcara, Argentina.  The country's lesser-known north is one of its most spectacular regions, and Carmen's dedication to keeping it clean...and energizing her community to join her...preserves the beauty of this mountainous land for residents and travelers alike.  It's no wonder she's been nominated a CNN Hero (winners announced on Thanksgiving Day).

Inspira Travel first heard about Carmen and her foundation, Esperanza de Vida through one of our hotel partners, Posada Con Los Angeles. This charming inn participates in these green efforts by setting aside the plastic bottles used by staff and guests for pick up by Carmen's volunteers. 

For those interested in travel to Argentina, let us know if  you'd like to get involved with this foundation on a journey to Jujuy Province in Argentina's north, maybe even join them on a Saturday clean-up!

Here's hoping all your travels are inspirational....
