Personal Preparation
No previous experience is required. Your guides will give you an orientation to safe expedition practices on the first day and teach you all the basic skills that you’ll require to safely enjoy the trip. Our prime consideration is to provide you with a trip that is as safe and comfortable as possible while still maintaining the integrity of a wilderness experience. Activities are always more fun when you are physically fit so try to exercise regularly prior to your trip. All participants will be required to complete a medical questionnaire prior to departure.
Ecological Sentiment
We are committed to the preservation of Ecuador’s wilderness habitat. Our excursions are designed to promote an understanding of the delicate ecosystems that make this region unique while preserving their fundamental integrity. We ask participants to share our concern for the environment by practicing low impact touring in this sensitive area. ROAM operates on a “no trace” policy and our goal is to immerse our guests in Ecuador’s vast natural beauty that, in turn, supports eco-tourism as a viable, economic choice.
Registration
Due to the small group size and limited departure dates, we encourage participants to book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. In order to confirm your space on the trip, we only require a $500 non-refundable deposit. Upon receipt of deposit, we will send you a letter of confirmation, pre departure information, equipment list, medical questionnaire and liability release form. The latter two items should be returned to our office with the balance of payment due 90 days prior to departure. All payments are non-refundable so we recommend purchasing trip cancellation insurance at the time of deposit.

CANCELLATIONS & INSURANCE: If you find it necessary to cancel your trip, notify us in writing as soon as possible. All cancellations are not refundable. We strongly recommend you purchase a short-term travelers insurance policy, which is enclosed in your confirmation packet. This policy offers accident, baggage and trip cancellation protection. The policy offers a full refund if you cancel at any time for medical or health reasons. Although it is unusual, we occasionally find it necessary to cancel a trip due to conditions beyond our control. If we are unable to provide another trip that is satisfactory to you, we will refund your entire trip fee.
MEDICAL: Under most circumstances, if you are of an adventurous spirit and in reasonably good health, you should have no problem enjoying a ROAM trip. People with heart trouble and pregnant women should have their physician’s approval before taking a river trip.
INSURANCE: Although every effort is made to insure a safe trip for all, we strongly recommend that you protect yourself, your belongings, and your vacation through the purchase of a short-term traveler’s policy. A trip cancellation policy covers your non-refundable payments in most cases, should you have to cancel your trip at the last minute due to illness or injury, as well as evacuation expenses, should they become necessary.
Trip participants should realize that in the event of illness or injury on a river trip, evacuation may be prolonged, difficult and expensive.

However, due to the nature of the activities, a condition of your participation is that you will sign this form and return it to our office before the trip begins. Anyone who refuses to sign the form will not be allowed to participate, and consistent with ROAM cancellation policy, there will be no refund of the trip fees at that time.
