Quetzaltrekker Guides and office staff are all working as volunteers. We have a
minimum of three months commitment to the project, most people stay with us for
far longer and often return to their homelands and continue to fund raise for
us. Where possible, we employ local Guatemalan labor to complete our team. Each
hike is guided by a qualified tour leader, a second guide and often a local
guide to compliment our services. This provides added factors of safety and
expertise with respect to our routes (in the case of Todos Santos for example).
In addition it brings welcome income to local economies and is a source of
sustainable non-destructive income in remote communities (one of the best forms
of ecotourism presently known). |
