Traveler Values
Our adventurous style of group travel is not for everyone. Please read carefully through your itinerary and the following description to ensure that you are booking a trip that fits your comfort level. This trip is for the traveler who has an adventurous spirit, is looking to squeeze the most out of their time with El Camino Travel, and cares about making the world a better place through responsible tourism. The trip is filled with experiences that allow you to be immersed in the varied cultures of the destination we are visiting. While El Camino Travel provides a high level of customer service, our traveler is someone who is easy-going and amenable to change in the diverse and the sometimes unpredictable challenges that come with travel. In signing up for this trip, you agree to the following:
I am open minded, inherently curious, and enjoy indulging in the moment.
I find joy in stepping outside of my comfort zone, love trying new things, and am excited to explore a culture completely different from my own.
I have read the full itinerary and looked at the style of accommodations. All looks good to me!
I understand that I am visiting a culture completely different than my own and things may run differently than they do back at home; things like meals may take longer to be served, etc. I will be open to and patient with these cultural differences and roll with the punches.
I understand that last-minute changes to the itinerary or accommodations are always possible (but I know the El Camino team will communicate changes beforehand, whenever they can).
I also understand that, sometimes, things happen—flights are delayed, bad weather kicks in—but I’m ready to roll with all of that, as I would on any other trip. Sometimes the best memories come from things not going as planned.
I understand that I can opt out of any activities on the itinerary, whenever I want. (But I promise to let my guide know when I do.)*
I understand that if issues come up on the trip, I will let my local host know so the El Camino team can proactively address any concerns that I may have.
I am excited to meet travelers from all walks of life. Inclusivity is the name of the game, and everyone can sit at our table!
I’m ready to meet adventurous, intelligent travelers like myself, and lift them up as we make memories in our destination together.
Thank you for taking the time to carefully read our Traveler Values. It means the world to us and to your fellow bold travelers.
*Please note that you must join all activities in Cuba as we have to adhere to our schedule under our general permit.
