PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

Participants should be mentally healthy and in good physical shape. During the hands on projects on the property, you will be on your feet and we will be doing a lot of walking in the mountains, which have steep ascents and descents. If you have a chronic or debilitating health condition, this program is not appropriate for you at this time.

There are unknown elements as we embrace this early phase of establishing roots at the Proyecto Ecologico Rijch’ariy and are working with young infrastructure. Those who join should be willing to embrace the immersion process with a positive, solutions-oriented attitude and open-mind for learning. All efforts are made by your hosts to create a safe and memorable experience however, participants should be comfortable with getting dirty, cooperatively problem-solve, kindly advocate for your needs and be flexible with changes, be it the weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
Traveling abroad challenges us to see beyond our own personal cultural lenses and comfort zones. Those who choose to join should demonstrate a willingness to approach Peruvian culture on its level and act as a gracious guest of our welcoming host country. Participants should be willing to challenge ethnocentrism as observant and culturally sensitive travelers.
Participants must be a minimum of 21 years of age. Younger participants may be accepted with letters of recommendation. Please contact us to discuss.
Participants are required to fill out a “Waiver & Release of Liability & Assumption of Risk” as part of the registration process (see registration form).
All participants are required to have personal travel insurance which includes medical insurance in order to participate in this journey.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

We require all participants to have travel insurance with emergency evacuation coverage and epidemic coverage endorsement.

There are many travel insurance options available.

The important thing for us is that the insurance covers emergency evacuation for medical or other situations.

If you do not have a regular medical insurance plan in your home country, it is a good idea to get a travel plan that covers medical expenses.

Some trip insurance that you buy when purchasing your plane tickets covers emergency evacuation, but inquire closely because not all do.

We recommend finding a policy that has 24\7 live assistance and collect-call access.

A company recommended to us is Allianz Travel or Travelex Insurance. You can check them out online and get a quote.

Others to explore include: Travel Guard, Seven Corners, World Nomads, Allianz Travel

If you would like assistance, we also recommend working with travel agent, Blanca Echeverria who can also assist you with purchasing this if you wish.
