PASSENGER CODE OF CONDUCT: TRAVEL WITH RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY


At Ecuador Emotions, our commitment is to offer unforgettable travel experiences while fostering respect for local cultures, nature and fellow travelers. To ensure that everyone enjoys their adventure to the fullest, we have established a Passenger Code of Conduct that we ask all our clients to follow during their travels.

1. Respect for Local Cultures and Communities
- Customs and Traditions: When visiting indigenous communities or participating in local festivities, respect customs and traditions. Dress appropriately and follow the directions of local guides.
- Responsible Photography: Ask permission before photographing local people or sacred sites. Respect their decision if they prefer not to be photographed.

2. Environmental Protection
- Leave No Trace: During your nature excursions, be sure not to leave trash or disturb the natural environment. Take all your waste with you and use the designated waste areas.
- Wildlife: Observe animals in their natural habitat from a safe distance and avoid feeding them or interfering with their behavior.

3. Group Behavior
- Punctuality: Respect the established schedules for activities and excursions. Punctuality is key for the smooth running of the itinerary and for all travelers to enjoy each experience.
- Courtesy and Respect: Treat other travelers and service personnel with courtesy and respect at all times. Any offensive or discriminatory behavior will not be tolerated.

4. Personal Safety and the Safety of Others
- Comply with the Rules: Follow all instructions provided by Ecuador Emotions guides and staff. These rules are designed to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
- Health: Inform your guide of any medical conditions or special needs before beginning any activity. It is important that you travel in an adequate physical and mental state to participate in the excursions.

5. Social Responsibility
- Local Purchases: Support local communities by purchasing products from local artisans and producers. This contributes to the economic development of the regions you visit.
- Ethical Behavior: Avoid participating in activities that exploit people, animals or natural resources. Always opt for responsible and ethical tourism options.
