Additional information

—

We will hike a lot. Be prepared for long walks! One of the days will be mountain trekking (altitude up to 4000 m). Although we won't spend much time at this altitude, you may feel some symptoms of altitude sickness.

—

It is recommended (yet not obligatory) to have a yellow fever vaccine to go to Bahia Solano.

—

Seeing whales is not guaranteed, though our local guides will do their best to find them. Be prepared to see big insects and spiders in the area of Colombian Pacific coast. There is no Internet there. All the activities depend on weather and sea conditions, so the plan in the Colombian Pacific coast can be changed due to the circumstances which are out of the organizer's control. But what we can guarantee is memorable experience in one of the most biodeverse places in the world!

Accomodation

We will live in simple yet comfortable hotels (3* in the cities, and small local hotels in the towns). In Bahia Solano there would be no Internet and probably no hot water in the room.
