Flexibility
We do everything we can to ensure a positive workshop experience. Because we can not control all aspects of our workshops (like when monkeys will choose to cross our path), we may need to slightly alter the workshop itinerary on-site. We reserve the right to make these changes in the interest of enjoyment, education, logistics or safety. In order to make these changes smooth, we rely on your cooperation and flexibility.
Safety
We take this topic seriously and ask that all workshop participants do the same. We take an enormous amount of care in preparing our workshops to minimize safety risks and we have created rules and regulations accordingly. It is very important that all travelers obey the rules and regulations set forth by Global Explorers staff, guides and lodge managers.
Physical Fitness Level
All of our workshops are designed for adventurous participants! We suggest participants prepare both physically and mentally for their workshops in order to get the most out of the experience. While the hikes and excursions are not strenuous, the heat and humidity may be taxing for some travelers. Please call us for more details and discuss any concerns with your physician.
