We are proud to be a sustainable tourism provider, and as such encourage guests to abide by some simple guidelines:

• Never attempt to feed wildlife and please don’t litter.
• Do not pick plants or take any natural items, especially in protected parks and reserves. Leave only footsteps - take only photographs.
• Avoid being loud so wildlife is not disturbed and so others can enjoy the natural setting.
• Stay on marked hiking trails to avoid damage or erosion.
• Although our staff and the local community members would likely be pleased to allow you to photograph them, as a courtesy ask permission first.
• Although you may barter some with souvenir vendors, please be respectful and remember that they are trying to make a living.
• Purchase locally made goods when possible rather than imported items.
• Attempt to learn a few simple phrases in Spanish to communicate with local residents that you encounter (see  ‘Spanish Phrases for Travelers’ ).
• Be mindful of any additional advice your tourguide gives you about environmental or cultural guidelines to follow.
