General Travel Tips
Responsible travel across Latin America
As part of our commitment to sustainable tourism, we share the following guidance for guests joining our experiences. Small choices add up to a lighter footprint and a fairer exchange with host communities.
Travel thoughtfully
- Be selective — On free days, favor tourism businesses that explain how they support people and planet.
- Tread lightly — Prefer activities and transport with a lower environmental impact.
- Be informed — Learn a little about local nature, history, and culture beforehand to deepen the experience.
- Follow your guide or host on safety, etiquette, and local dos and don’ts.
- Respect privacy; ask before photographing people or sensitive places.
- Share spaces considerately so others can enjoy access too.
- Be mindful of inequality; avoid conspicuous displays of wealth in vulnerable contexts.
- Ask questions — local guides are glad to share knowledge.
- Take part when invited into a local custom.
- If you wish to give, ask us how to do it responsibly; sweets or cash to individuals can cause harm.
- Buy from local, small, or community-owned businesses, especially those tied to nature or culture.
- Be cautious buying from children — you may unintentionally support exploitation.
- Refuse souvenirs, food, or drinks that harm people, wildlife, or the environment, especially illegal goods.
- Honor local tipping and trading customs and pay fair prices.
- Reduce waste — take only what you need and carry reusables such as a bottle, cup, or bag.
- Dispose of waste properly and use local recycling when available.
- Be water-wise — do not add pressure in water-scarce places.
- Save energy to shrink your carbon footprint and ease local supply strain.
- Support climate action through offset or regeneration programs when offered.
- Share feedback on what worked and what we can improve.
