Travel tips
- Recommendations:Most people traveling with Ecoglobal Expeditions are fervent lovers of nature, they are uncomplicated and “off-road” travelers, patients, tolerants, collaborators and enthusiasts. They like to travel in groups because they find in this experience an opportunity to learn from others, make friends and share experiences during the trip. Thinking about it, we wanted to propose a list of “Good Group Travel Practices” to help travelers to have a richer and more pleasant experience during the excursions. You can find the list by clicking here: Good Group Travel Practices
Each expeditionary must purchase accident insurance covering helicopter rescue, for example: https://www.worldnomads.com/. In case of any eventuality all the medical expenses, transfer, recate, medicines, hospitalization, etc. In which they are incurred, are borne by the person concerned. Normally, the insurers ask the person to pay all the expenses and after a formal claim with all the necessary documentation, the insurance reimburses the paid less the corresponding deductible. It is therefore important to travel with a credit card with enough space.
Do not carry or consume liquor (no brandy, wine, whiskey, beer, etc.), or toxic substances, psychoactive or hallucinogenic in the mountains (marijuana, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, fungi, etc., that combination is worse than The “gasoline with the liquor” !!).
Do not bring jewelry or valuables (the Rolex and the Cartier earrings please leave them at home)
During the walks do not separate from the group, do not go ahead, do not be left alone
Bring warm clothes, the place we go is very cold.
Consume a lot of liquid during your stay in the mountains, this practice helps improve the body’s ability to adjust to height.
Pack your clothes in plastic bags inside the backpack, carry extra plastic bags for various uses.
Protect your camera from moisture.
Carry spare batteries.
As far as possible carry the least amount of wrappers, cans or glasses. Please do not leave litter on the mountain.
Bring snacks, chocolates, peanuts, panela, etc. Packed in resealable plastic bags (“Ziploc”), remove the air when packing them to occupy as little space as possible inside your backpack.
Light luggage travel, it is not necessary to bring a bag for each day.
The weather conditions in the mountains can change in minutes, always carry a raincoat.
Keep in mind that we will be staying in a very remote place, with basic services. Our hosts will do everything in their power to serve us as best as possible, within the conditions of the place and its culture.
