We are really
proud to work with the Red Cross, and this year we organized a chef's first aid
training specifically for the chefs. We think it’s critical that we always improve
the safety knowledge of our staff. Once we are on our way to Machu Picchu,
regardless of the trek, they will often be the only people available to help us
during an emergency.
Our chefs are
educated in how to provide
immediate care in cardiac, respiratory and first aid emergencies. This includes
how to evacuate people from any trek until advanced medical personnel arrive,
or until we get to the nearest clinic. They also provide support for our team
of porters and their own families.
Our tour guides receive first aid training with the RED
CROSS every February – all Inti Trek tour guides are
required to attend. While on the trail, they will carry a first aid kit for
basic medical problems (diarrhea, headache, cuts, scrapes, etc.) and oxygen
bottle. Not only are they there to guide you, but they always have your health
in mind. All throughout the day, our guides are paying close attention to your
physical and mental state. Many times we know something is wrong before you do.
We are here to take care of you and make sure you have the best experience
ever.
