WHY AYMARA?
We know that before hiring a company you may have many doubts.
We want to help you make an informed decision. Aymará recommends you research thoroughly and ask questions before deciding which agency to book with.
Here, we will not try to tell you why to choose us.
HERE, YOU WILL FIND OUR ANSWERS
1. How do I distinguish between a simple internet address and a real company?
It is very important to distinguish between a simple Internet address (virtual company) and a company that is legally authorized. Choosing carefully usually results in additional advantages:
Tourism companies are identified with a “Dirección Nacional de Servicios Turísticos de la Secretaria de Turismo de la Nación” (National Center of Touristic Services in the National Tourism Department) file number.
Our file number is 7639.
You can verify this and any other authorized company by viewing the following link at the "Secretaría de Turismo de la Nación" (National Tourism Department) website:
In the link Agencias de Viaje (Travel Agencies), click on the Turismo Receptivo (Local Tourism) link.
- Click on "Agencias que operan Turismo Receptivo". (Agencies that are out fitters of the local tourism)
- In this web page you will find a list of all the Tourism Agencies, organized by provinces, allphabetically ordered. Check in Mendoza (between pages 12 to 16), there you will find us.
2. How I make sure that the services I hired will be provided?
We are the first Argentinean Company of Expeditions which got the accreditation of the ISO 9001:2000 quality standard. This is the one that governs our Quality system.
We decided to start walking this new trail because we know that your decision to leave your country looking for an adventure is not easy, especially if it takes place in a country far from home.
For an organization as Aymará Adventure and Expeditions to be within the standards of an international quality standard it is a great commitment. This means that when you book our services and they are confirmed, our company takes it as an obligation. If a company does not fulfill the passengers’ requirements, it can carry serious consequences.
Each organization is responsible for the development of its processes, generating tools to have everything under control. Besides, each certificated organization must be evaluated by third or independent organizations, which control the fulfillment and the adjustment of the system.
Our system was certified by the well known company called SGS Argentina (General Socíeté of Surveillance) and this makes us the first company in Argentina regarding Quality Systems in tourist organizations developing expeditions or non-conventional programs.
We hope to fulfill all your expectations in the experience that you will live. Thank you for allowing us to accompany you.
3. Check the membership of the company.
We, Aymara Adventures & Expeditions, take as our the Environmental Objectives and Guidelines of UIAA (International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation), committing with the environment and natural life in every activity we do.
Aymará is member of the "Asociación Americana de Agentes de Viaje" (American Society of Travel Agents – ASTA). This is another real guarantee that assures you quality and security in the services that you are offered.
We also have the sponsorship of prestigious institutions like: AAOVYT (Argentinean Associations of Trips and Tourism Out fitters) AMAVYT (Mendocinean Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies) AAVYT (Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies) REDUC (Agencies of Educative Tourism)
4. How long have you been in this business, and how many clients per year do you operate?
