We are delighted to announce our new collaboration with Water-to-Go, providers of BPA-free reusable water bottles which contain a unique filtration technology that eliminates over 99.99% of all microbiological contaminants, and effectively provide clean, safe drinking water from any non-salt water source around the world.
In countries where the tap water isn’t safe to drink, the volume of plastic bottle waste generated by a single traveller can be staggering. To make matters worse, in many of these countries the recycling infrastructure is very poor. Wherever possible, we ask our tour leaders and local agents to buy fewer, larger bottles, from which everyone can top up their own bottle during the holiday, but sometimes these simply aren’t available – and regardless, plastic waste is still created. To help reduce plastic waste when you travel abroad, we are delighted to have partnered with Water-to-Go, whose bottles allow you to safely drink tap water (or even stream water!) anywhere in the world. Naturetrek staff member, Simon Dicks, road-tested one of these bottles on a trip to Madagascar, and several of our office staff have since gone on to purchase their own bottle for their next overseas adventure!

Not only this, but every time our code is used, Water-to-Go will also donate 15% of the sale to Fundación EcoMinga, the Ecuadorian Partner of the World Land Trust, through which Naturetrek supports the direct purchase of critically-endangered cloudforest in the Ecuadorian Andes.
