Biosafety and Health
* Inform SELVAVENTURA staff of any health or physical integrity issues before starting the excursion.
* SELVAVENTURA and its field service providers carry basic first aid kits during the journey and at various stations. In some cases, our guides may provide traditional plant-based medicine and/or apply conventional protocols for stabilizing patients in the field when necessary.
* In case of any serious health situation that arises in the field, SELVAVENTURA staff will, under specific conditions and within realistic possibilities, facilitate the transportation of the patient to the nearest healthcare center.
* Bring your own prescribed or personal medications, under your responsibility, in the appropriate containers.
* COVID-19: responsibly apply personal care before, during, and after your excursion, following international guidelines. SELVAVENTURA staff adheres to current international protocols but respects and tolerates the freedom of service providers, tour guides, and/or any passerby interacting during the journey in various settings.
* Yellow Fever: International recommendations, which are a requirement in some tropical countries, mandate carrying a yellow fever vaccination certificate, valid for 10 years, and does not apply to individuals over 60 years old. If you have the certificate, carry it with you. If you have not been vaccinated, check whether the destination country or region requires the certificate when traveling. However, the Amazon region where this excursion takes place does not pose a risk for contracting the disease. Local authorities generally do not ask for the certificate.
* Malaria or Paludism: A vaccine for this illness is not yet available on the formal market. The likelihood of contracting this disease during your excursion is low, but it may increase in certain seasons and specific locations throughout the year. The best prevention is to avoid mosquito exposure during their usual activity hours (05:00 to 07:00 / 17:00 to 19:00), wear long sleeves, and use repellents. We do not recommend taking prophylactic (“preventive”) medication against this disease, as its full effectiveness has not been proven, and it can significantly affect your body. People using these medications may mask the disease in their body with long-term effects. If contracted, malaria is easily detected through blood tests and has an effective curative treatment.
* Diarrhea and stomach issues: Statistically, these are the most common factors that disrupt travelers' well-being. To prevent this, we recommend using antibacterial hand gel before meals and washing cooking utensils with chlorinated water and soap before and after each use. Occasionally, in cases of moderate stomach discomfort, our guides may use plant-based remedies they are familiar with and/or basic stabilization treatments, with rehydrating mineral salts and commercial intestinal flora repair products.
* Allergies: Statistically, these pose the greatest risk during field excursions. Inform SELVAVENTURA staff if you know you are allergic to anything and make sure to bring your own antihistamines to the field. For unknown allergies, the guide carries some common antihistamines in their first aid kit.
* After the trip: If you experience abnormal symptoms such as fever, headache, severe colds, joint pain, diarrhea, etc., after your trip, we recommend visiting specialized medical centers and notifying them so that relevant tests for possible tropical diseases are performed.
