CODE OF CONDUCT

All guests are expected to abide by a code of conduct that shows respect to indigenous people, the environment, wildlife, staff, and fellow guests. Please note the five bullet points below.

• The staff of Amazonia Expeditions treats all guests with respect and kindness and management expects that guests will also treat all staff, native people, and fellow guests with appropriate respect and will not tolerate abusive behavior on the part of its guests.
• Although raising one’s voice, or yelling, may be considered the norm in some cultures, it can be perceived to be very rude by local standards. Raising one’s voice in anger may result in your guide or other staff members feeling uncomfortable in your presence and may affect the overall quality of your trip. In Peru using vulgar, abusive language is a criminal misdemeanor. We reserve the right to remove you without a refund if you engage in abusive behavior.
• It is part of our ethical mission to not handle or disturb wildlife in their natural setting. If you are looking for a selfie holding wildlife, then this is not the trip for you!
• Soliciting drugs or sex or any other unethical demands from the staff or indigenous people will result in arrest and criminal charges.
• Inappropriate behavior will result in the guest being directed to leave without refund or if deemed excessive, with forced removal by local police and a criminal complaint.

Traveler understands that wilderness travel has inherent risks and agrees to hold Amazonia Expeditions and all its employees harmless and free of liability for any harm, injury, illness, or death.

Traveler further agrees that any disputes arising from the trip must be resolved through binding arbitration handled by the Better Business Bureau of West Florida.
