To participate in our trips, we ask that you prudently judge maturity level and physical endurance of each individual, according to the type of itinerary that you are taking. For adventure travel and some of the more demanding archaeological expeditions, participants should be in good physical conditions and be able to judge wisely their abilities to meet with the rigors and challenges that nature can offer.
