Biosecurity and Health
* Ponga en conocimiento del personal de SELVAVENTURA cualquier problema o anomalía que tenga que ver con su salud e integridad física, antes de iniciar la excursión.
* SELVAVENTURA y su equipo de prestadores de servicio en campo manejan botiquines de primeros auxilios básicos, durante el recorrido y en las distintas estaciones. En algunos casos, nuestros guías podrán suministrar medicina tradicional a base de plantas y/o aplicar protocolos convencionales para estabilzación de pacientes en campo, cuando sea necesario.
* Ante toda situación de salud delicada que se presente en campo, el personal de SELVAVENTURA facilitará, bajo las condiciones puntuales y dentro de las posibilidades reales, la movilización del pacianete hacia el centro de salud más cercano.
* Traiga sus propios medicamentos recetados o de uso personal, bajo su responsabilidad, en los debidos envases.
* COVID19: aplique responsablemente los cuidados personales antes durante y después de realizar su excursión, de acuerdo con la normatividad internacional. El personal de SELVAVENTURA obedece los protocoles internacionales vigentes, pero respeta y tolera la libertad de manejo del tema por parte de los proveedores, prestadores de servicios y/o cualquier transeúnte que llegue a interactuar durante el recorrido en los distintos escenarios.
* Fiebre amarilla: la recomendación internacional, norma para algunos países tropicales, obliga a portar el carnet de vacunación contra la fiebre amarilla el cual tiene validez de 10 años y no aplica para mayores de 60 años. Si tiene el carnet pórtelo y si no se ha vacunado consulte si el país o región de destino está exigiendo el carnet o no a la hora de viajar. De todas maneras, la región de la amazonía por donde se realiza esta excursión no representa un riesgo para contraer la enfermedad. Las autoridades locales usualmente no piden el certificado.
* Malaria o Paludismo. Aún no está a disposición en el mercado formal la vacuna para esta dolencia. La probabilidad de contraer esta enfermedad durante su excursión es baja, pero puede acentuarse en algunas temporadas y sitios puntuales a lo largo del año. La mejor prevención es no exponerse a los mosquitos durante su horario de actividad habitual (05:00 a 07:00 / 17:00 a 19:00), usar manga larga y repelentes. No recomendamos tomar medicamentos profilácticos (“preventivos”) contra esta enfermedad ya que no esta demostrada su eficiencia total y estos afectan significativamente su organismo. Las personas que utilizan estos medicamentos pueden camuflar la enfermedad en su cuerpo con efectos a largo plazo. En caso dado, esta enfermedad se detecta fácilmente con exámenes de sangre y tiene su respectivo tratamiento médico curativo.
* Diarrea y males de estómago. Eestadísticament constityen el factor de desestabilidad más común en el bienestar de los viajeros. Para prevenir recomendamos el uso de antibacterial en las manos antes de las comidas y lavar con agua clorada y jabón los utencilios de cocina antes y después de cada uso. Eventualmente, en casos de malestar estomacal moderado, nuestros guías podrán utilizar remedios con plantas de su conocimiento y/o tratamientos básicos de estabilización, con sales minerales hidratantes y reparadores comerciales de flora intestinal.
* Alergias. Estas constitiyen estadísticamente el mayor factor de riesgo durante las excursiones en campo. Avise al personal de SELVAVENTURA si usted sabe que es alérgico a algo y asegúrese de llevar a campo sus propios medicamentos antihistaminicos. Para casos de alergias no conocidas, el guía porta en su botiquín algunos antihistaminicos básicos de uso común.
* Después del viaje. En caso de presentar síntomas anormales como fiebre, dolor de cabeza, gripes fuertes, dolor de articulaciones, diarrea etc… después de su viaje; recomendamos visitar centros médicos especializados y advertir que se hagan exámenes pertinentes para posibles enfermedades tropicales.
