We are an innovative ecotourism tour operator that offers visitors authentic experiences focused on nature, people and cultural values of the villages in the areas of Romania we operate in. We provide guided tours, wildlife encounters, unique equestrian experiences and sustainable accommodation options which are all aimed at highlighting the beauty and diversity of nature.
At Travel Carpathia, our vision and philosophy are deeply rooted in those of Foundation Conservation Carpathia. Travel Carpathia was created to allow Romanian and foreign visitors to experience the beauty and wildness of the Făgăraș Mountains and the conservation projects of Foundation Conservation Carpathia.
Together with the Foundation, we aim to create a new, non-destructive economy that would benefit biodiversity as well as the local communities. Our ultimate goal is to establish a world-class wilderness reserve in the Southern Romanian Carpathians. This will be an icon for conservation in Europe, and a new emblematic National Park for our continent that will benefit everyone.
We respect the environment and wildlife of the Carpathian region. Through sustainable practices, we aim to reduce our ecological impact and promote responsible tourism. We place great importance on ethical human-wildlife interactions, and we do our best to foster consideration for the natural habitat. Understanding the importance of maintaining a safe distance and minimising disruption to wildlife, we go all-out to uphold these principles.
We feel obliged to make sure that each wild animal has a right to space and food, and that we don’t intervene in any way in modifying its behaviour. Our focus is on providing unforgettable experiences while safeguarding wildlife and their habitats for future generations. This differentiates us from many other operators, where you might observe more wildlife, which is intensively fed and consequently has changed its behaviour.
