Are additional trail hikes or rappelling mandatory?

Additional hiking and rappelling are not mandatory on any of the tours.
Hiking the trails are a wonderous way to most fully experience the beauty of creation. Taking the time and being quiet can bring you into an awareness of the sights and sounds of nature, as well as the monkeys, birds, lizards, and even the ants along the way. Many find that pushing themselves past their own perceptions of physical limitations bring them to a greater appreciation of their own unlimitlessness.

Is experience hiking, rappelling or riding necessary?

Experience in any of these sports is not required. A moderate level of physical fitness is recommended though. Some of the trails can be strenuous, but manageable if you take your time. This is not a race. For those who wish to try rappelling or horseback riding, our staff are
well-trained and will assist and prepare you for an exciting experience.

No. You already have three of the most important prerequisites - active, eager and open to a challenge. But for those who may be greatly overweight, have any heart, lung or knee problems, you need to consider your physical condition in making your decision.
