Each workshop is a little bit different. But in general the vast majority of photo tours and workshops are designed so that just about anyone can participate. For example on our Ecuador and Trinidad and Tobago photo tours the majority of the photography is done right around the lodges. There are walks to photograph special birds scheduled but if you think the walking will be too strenuous you are welcome to stay at the lodge and photograph what is there or rest. If you want to take a half day off during the middle of a tour or workshop to rest up there is no problem with that. If on the other hand you like to hike there are opportunities to do so on almost all of our photo tours and workshops. When walks are scheduled to photograph a certain species the vast majority of the time the walk is less than one mile each way. Contact us with any questions.
