How IMPT Makes Your Flight Carbon-Negative
A round-trip flight from Miami to Medellín produces roughly 0.5 tonnes of CO₂ per passenger. From New York, it's closer to 0.8 tonnes. That's a real impact — but it doesn't have to be a guilty one.
When you book flights through IMPT's flight search, your journey triggers verified carbon removal. IMPT retires UN-verified carbon credits — tokenised on Ethereum, permanently auditable, and impossible to double-count. This isn't a vague promise; it's blockchain-verified climate action tied to your specific booking.
The carbon credits fund real projects: reforestation with named farmers and GPS-tagged trees, renewable energy installations in developing nations, and community-led conservation efforts. Every credit is retired on-chain with a public retire code anyone can verify.

Things to Do in Medellín
Medellín packs more into a single city than most countries offer nationwide. Here's what makes it worth the flight:
- Comuna 13: Once the most dangerous neighbourhood in the world, now a vibrant outdoor gallery of street art, escalators, and community pride. Don't miss the graffiti tour.
- Guatapé day trip: 2 hours east. Climb the 740 steps of El Peñol rock for one of South America's most iconic views. Take a boat on the reservoir.
- Jardín Botánico: A free botanical garden in the city centre. Perfect for a morning wander with orchids, butterflies, and an architectural masterpiece of a visitor centre.
