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
Because we will remain throughout the expedition at altitudes above 3,000 meters above sea level and in remote areas, this exit is not suitable for people with lung or heart conditions or for people under medical treatment for diseases such as diabetes , Asthma, etc.
Staying at high altitudes may be contraindicated if you are under medical prescription. If you have questions please consult your doctor before enrolling.
- As far as possible take the least amount of wrappers, cans or glasses and please, let’s return home all the inorganic waste that we carry in our backpack «if you carry it in your backpack, you can return in your backpack»
- Please do not leave trash in the mountain and I hope we don’t leave trash in the cabin.
- 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” !!).
- 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.
- 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.
- If you are vegetarian, we recommend you bring your own food, Packed in resealable plastic bags.
- Light luggage travel, it is not necessary to bring a bag for each day.
- Do not bring jewelry or valuables (the Rolex and the Cartier earrings please leave them at home).
- During the walks do not leave the group, do not go ahead, do not be left alone.
- 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, run by a peasant organization. Our hosts will do everything in their power to serve us as best as possible, within the conditions of the place and its culture.
