Making a Difference

Number of employees: 70

Percentage of local employees: 90%

Preserving nature is indispensable for Xandari; we live in a world that increasingly needs our help. We reforest and recycle, don't use chlorine in our pools, make our own organic fertilizer, use efficient light bulbs, and educate our neighbors and employees about environmental subjects. Ninety percent of our employees are local. We donated 25 student desks to the local school and we maintain the green areas of the school and the local Catholic Church.

Generally, we fight to conserve nature in our country; by visiting a sustainable destination like ours you are helping to preserve nature.
