All guides are equipped with first aid kits for remote areas and bring extensive mountain experience. However, we emphasize that this is not a 100% safe activity, and despite all the precautions, safety measures, and responsibilities we adopt, unforeseen events and accidents may occur. As with most adventure activities in natural environments, there is an element of risk (poisonous animals, falls resulting in fractures or abrasions, storms, floods, general accidents, etc.). Mechanical breakdowns in the transport vehicle may also cause delays or changes in the trip. The chosen itinerary takes place in wild locations where rescue procedures can be delayed (taking over 5 hours to initiate rescue, not included in our reservation services). During the activity, participants must strictly follow the instructions of the agency and guides. For this reason, we stress the critical importance of participants carrying all mandatory equipment listed in the checklist. Failure to bring mandatory equipment will prevent participation in the activity. In this specific trek, there is no rescue or evacuation infrastructure. Rescue is conducted by guides, local emergency teams, and firefighters who travel to the area after receiving the call; the costs of rescue are the responsibility of the participants who made the reservation.
