and tour operators), a policy that has led to the future implementation of guidelines for tour
guides and tour operators through the Best Practices Committee of the Puerto Rican
Association of Interpretation and Education, Inc. (APIE). In October, 2007, Occupational
Standards for Outdoor Nature Guides and Outdoor Adventure Kayak Guides were
developed for the first time.

As part of our corporate social responsibility we founded the Puerto Rican Association of
Interpretation and Education (APIE, Asociación Puertorriqueña de Interpretación y
Educación). APIE is an organization that not only offers training and continuing education
for tour guides, but also offers a series of activities for the general public, focusing on
children, students, and educators (Proyecto Mucarito).
In 2014 we created an Annual Fund of which $1 of every tour is added to this fund.

| To my beloved Mother, my inspiration during all my life, my Guide, and friend. 1928 - 2011 |
| With 33 years in the tourism industry, we will make possible your dream vacation. Remember that 100% of your investment stays in Puerto Rico, not abroad when you hire local guides. You also save as you are not paying hidden fees or 30% commission when you use online apps. |
