ColibriVentura Summary of the tour
- 14 days, 13 nights piloting trip with moderate to demanding mountain hikes and treks (the mountains will be under 2200m high, possibility of first ascents), and a ride on the river Baker in foldable kayak(s) or rubber boat.
- the trip is made for the young and the old, can be adapted to the needs, since the group is so small. You need to have a good head for heights, be surestepped, have a good condition, understand german/english/spanish, and you can swim.
- Safety of the group and the individual are of highest priority. Small group size of two to three participants (maximum four persons when family with kids - then modalities needs to be adjusted) make sure that each of the members is well attended.
- Participants of the tour help together if there is any groupwork to do, like putting up (and down) camp, communal cooking, they carry their own equipment and provisions themselves when possible or not otherwise arranged (the backpacks should have a capacity of max 1/3 to 1/4 of the body mass of the member).
