Detailed pricing

There seems to be a little confusion about what exactly is included in the featured tour (the next one leaving on February 15).
So, lets see:

Price includes:

·         transportation from/to Santa Elena

·         3 meals a day during hike plus accommodation and food in Carmelita before and after tour

·         all entry fees, permits and taxes; information on current excavations

·         native English guide certified in wilderness first-aid, first-aid kit, GPS and detailed site maps

·         a requirement of minimum eight participants

Not included in price:

·         local guides, mules/horses to carry gear or ride on

·         hammock, net, blanket

·         emergency evac due to blisters, fatigue, health or other issues

·         helpers to set up your tent, cook your food, wash dishes, carry water, tidy up and pack your bag: meaning your personal help is needed all along with common chores

·         tips/snacks/donations

Extras can be rented per day (based on 1 US$ = 7,8 Q):

·         mule                                    US$9

·         muleteer (arriero)            US$14

·         extra hiking days               US$20

·         local cook                             US$14

·         local guide                           US$21

·         hammock+net+cover     US$3

·         Hennessy hammocks      US$20

Please note that one mule is needed to carry all the luggage of two persons, and one muleteer plus his mule has to be rented per four mules. The Hennessy hammocks are professionally designed jungle expedition hammocks with an asymmetrical design for comfortable sleeping, rapid assembly and a built-in rain tarp and mosquito net. Also, they weigh a lot less than the traditional hammock-tarp-net trio.

Our price is 150 US$ per person for a group of at least 8 persons for the 5-day hike. Every extra day will cost 20 US$ per person, for less days we subtract the amount (a 3-day trek would cost 60 USD per person for a group of 8). For groups less than five, the per person price will also be proportionally higher.
