TRIPnership

Creemos que las grandes experiencias de viaje nacen de relaciones sólidas. Por eso escuchamos, medimos y aprendemos constantemente de los tres grupos que están en el corazón de lo que hacemos: nuestros viajeros, nuestro equipo y los socios que hacen posible cada Camino.

Nuestros socios locales

Trabajamos con alojamientos y empresas de transporte de propiedad local a lo largo de las rutas del Camino, y animamos a nuestros viajeros a comer en restaurantes independientes y a vivir experiencias locales. Así ayudamos a que el gasto se quede en las comunidades que recorren.

Muchas de nuestras relaciones con proveedores llevan varios años. Trabajamos temporada tras temporada con los mismos hoteles y casas de huéspedes familiares, y las vemos como alianzas a largo plazo, no como simples acuerdos comerciales.

Desde 2023 enviamos cada año encuestas de sostenibilidad a los alojamientos de nuestra red para conocer sus prácticas ambientales y sociales, y para compartir con ellos información sobre turismo responsable.

Encuestas anuales de sostenibilidad a nuestros proveedores

La encuesta cubre prácticas ambientales y sociales en nuestra red en España, Portugal y Francia, incluyendo consumo de energía y agua, gestión de residuos, condiciones laborales y abastecimiento local. En 2026, recibimos 42 respuestas completas. Como nuestra base de proveedores es mucho más amplia, estamos trabajando para aumentar la participación en próximas encuestas y así construir una imagen más representativa.

Principales hallazgos:

Medio ambiente

95% separa y recicla residuos
68% ha tomado medidas para reducir los plásticos de un solo uso
90% mide su consumo de energía de alguna forma, y 44% utiliza fuentes de energía renovable como solar o eólica
80% ofrece productos locales o de temporada
75% ofrece una opción vegetariana o vegana en el desayuno o en su menú
La medición de la huella de carbono sigue siendo un área de desarrollo: solo el 2% la mide con registros documentados, y el 68% no la mide en absoluto

Prácticas laborales

75% tiene contratos formales de empleo para todo su personal
68% tiene un límite de horas semanales y una política de descanso establecida
49% tiene un mecanismo formal para que el personal reporte quejas o inquietudes

Compartimos los resultados con quienes los solicitan, y usamos los datos para orientar los recursos e información de turismo responsable que compartimos en nuestra red.

I can’t say enough good about this company! I just returned from my first Camino (Oia to Santiago) and it was life changing! Thank you, thank you to our guide, Silvia, who is an absolute gem! Can’t wait for the next trip!!

Exceptional experience walking the Via de la Plata/Sanabres/Finisterre with Follow the Camino handling the logistics. A great portion of my walk involved rural areas. Very impressed with this agency's efforts to locate lodging in the planning of the trip; yet they most impressed me with their troubleshooting of issues that came up during the walk. Allowed me to focus on the spiritual nature of the journey, which is the essence of the Camino. Two thumbs up. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Excellent Camino Planning Experience — Perfect Father-Daughter Trip This was my second time using Follow The Camino, and once again they did an excellent job. I worked closely with Larissa, who was exceptional from start to finish. She was responsive, thoughtful, organized, and truly went above and beyond to help create a very special trip. I planned this Camino as a graduation gift for my 22-year-old daughter, and it turned out to be the perfect father-daughter experience. The planning before the hike was excellent. Larissa and the Follow The Camino team helped us think through the right route, the daily mileage, the hotel choices, luggage transfers, and the overall flow of the trip. Everything was well organized and very smooth, which allowed us to simply enjoy the walk, the towns, the time together, and the experience. What stood out most was how personal the service felt. This was not just a basic travel booking. Larissa understood that this trip was meaningful for my daughter and me, and she helped make it feel special. She even arranged a bottle of champagne for my daughter’s birthday during the Camino, which was a very thoughtful touch and something we really appreciated. The lodging and routing worked very well. Some of the properties were especially memorable, including our first hotel in Sarria, the Rectoral de Lestedo near Palas de Rei, and A Quinta da Auga in Santiago. The final hotel and spa in Santiago were a perfect way to end the Camino. The luggage transfers, hotel arrangements, and daily logistics all worked smoothly. The way the itinerary was structured was also excellent. We had one longer walking day near the end, which allowed us to have a much shorter final day into Santiago. That gave us time to arrive early, receive our Compostela certificates quickly, enjoy the hotel and spa, attend Pilgrim Mass, and celebrate the completion of the Camino without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend Follow The Camino to anyone considering the Camino de Santiago, especially if you want the experience to be well planned, comfortable, and supported by people who really understand the route. Larissa was outstanding, and I am very grateful for the care and attention she put into our trip. It was a wonderful experience and a perfect graduation gift and father-daughter trip.

I recently completed 117km of the Camino de Santiago, Frances, from Sarria to Santiago. This was part of a fundraising challenge for a local charity, who used Follow the Camino to coordinate the trip. I was hugely impressed with every aspect of the trip. I wasn’t involved with the booking, which the charity made on our behalf, but once the booking was made the information provided by Follow the Camino was excellent. We were given details about the route, the hotels, the luggage transfers, what to bring and suggested training to ensure an adequate fitness level. We were offered a pre-departure Zoom meeting and there was an app that also included all the details together with an interactive GPS map. There was also a 24 hour emergency number. I was very happy with the high level of service and would absolutely use Follow the Camino again for a future trip

My friend and I just had a very good experience hiking from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Pamplona across the Pyrenees, organised by the team at Follow the Camino. We took advantage of their option to have our luggage taken to our next night stay every day. It was an extremely smooth operation and we were grateful for it been taken care of. All places we stayed were great. People were welcoming and helpful, rooms were immaculate, breakfast and dinners offered plenty of food (tasty both at breakfast and dinner). The path is sign-posted and easy to follow, even in the fog. The walk across the Pyrenees is a physical challenge though. However, we managed and so did all the lovely people we met along our way.
