Traveller Hiking Conduct Code
Hiking Conduct Code
Responsible Travel statement
As clearly stated in our Responsible Travel statement, we do believe that tourism is a force for good and that travel is a privilege. Hiking, nevertheless, deserves its own Conduct Code as we are immersing in wild and natural areas and, hence, we should double our efforts.
Everyone wants to enjoy the outdoors in a safe, pleasant and clean way. It is up to all of us to make it possible.
We hope you may follow these rules even alone, but when hiking with us, we observe and ask you to observe, the following rules:
01.
Follow your guide´s indications at all times.
02.
Be informed about appropriate regulations to comply with. Ask us if necessary.
03.
Plan and prepare yourself ahead about the terrain, weather and safety. Ask us if necessary.
04.
Always take care of your garbage. Leave nothing behind.
05.
Be extremely watchful with fire, cigarettes and any source that can cause problems.
06.
Do not pick plants.
07.
Don´t harass animals.
08.
Respect private property and the privacy of locals.
09.
Do not scream or talk quite loud in the presence of other hikers.
10.
Respect and preserve all the signage.
11.
Do not walk alone or fall behind or ahead despite your guide´s indications and never lose visual contact with the group.
12.
Take note and communicate problems in the trails. Ask us if necessary.
