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 Group Sponsors, on-site
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 included in this workshop are not
strenuous, the conditions may be taxing for some travelers. Please
call us for more details and discuss any concerns with your physician.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
We are able to refund a portion of your payments if cancellation
becomes necessary. A withdrawal schedule will be made available
with a payment schedule so you will know the details before you
begin payment. We sincerely regret having to strictly adhere to
this schedule but we begin sending non-refundable payments for lodging
and transportation and incur other costs long before the workshop.
