Responsible Tourism Guidelines

Our environment is fragile, to help us maintain it please be responsible:

• Refrain from taking anything from the forest, flora or fauna.
• Respect the local environment – do not damage it.
• Do not litter in Piedra Blanca.
• You can only visit the forest with one of our qualified guides.
• The maximum tour group size is 30 people. We do not desire large groups of tourists; it is not sustainable for the environment. If a tour group of more than 30 people arrives, each tourist is obliged to pay an entrance fee of $5.

• Take only photos, leave only footprints.
• Stick to the designated paths. Do not stray from these.
• Do not intentionally disturb the local wildlife.
• If camping for longer than two days, slightly adjust your tent position to prevent damage to vegetation.
• Be culturally and socially sensitive.
• Ask before taking photos of local people.
• Do not give sweets to children – it encourages begging.
• Buy local products - support the local economy.
