Those risks can include, but are not limited to, unfamiliar or difficult terrain, extreme climate, unfamiliar and/or poorly processed food and drink, substandard or remote and not immediately available medical care, uncommon disease and illnesses, poor safety and sanitary practices, lack of adequate public infrastructure, lack of proper transportation, political unrest, terrorism, and unconventional customs, practices and sexual mores.
In consideration for being permitted to participate in the Trip, I hereby acknowledge and agree to the following: I have been informed of and I understand the various aspects of the Trip I have selected including, but not limited to, travel, itinerary, logistics, cancellation, and related Trip activities.

I further understand and agree that any such injuries and consequences that I may sustain by any means are my sole responsibility.
I understand there are potential risks inherent to my participation in the Trip and these potential risks include, but are not limited to: travel to and from the Trip; local travel within the Trip site; consumption of food; weather conditions; language barriers; contagious diseases; terrorism; negligent first aid operations or procedures; and other risks that are unknown at this time. Although the company has made every reasonable effort to assure my safety while participating in the Trip, there are unavoidable risks.
I understand that Colibri Group, LLC (Colibri Travel Tours) and Global Arts Live are not in any way responsible for my well being with respect to any travel destinations and /or participation in activities beyond those specifically required for the Trip that I may choose to undertake before, during, or after the Trip. I knowingly and voluntarily assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the Released Parties (described herein) and I voluntarily assume full responsibility for my participation in the Trip.

I have no known physical or health-related reasons or problems that may preclude or restrict my participation in the Trip and related activities, or I have disclosed to the Company (Colibri Group, LLC) any physical, mental, and/or emotional conditions or problems, permanent or temporary, including special dietary and medication needs, or the need for mobility, visual or auditory aids that might impair my ability to participate in Trip.
I hereby release each of the Released parties from any and all claims, damages, injuries, or loss arising out of my failure to disclose such conditions or problems. I further agree that receiving any inoculations (if necessary) is my responsibility and I will not hold the company liable for any adverse reactions as a result of taking the inoculations or illness abroad or at home due to not taking the inoculations. I will make all preparations necessary to safeguard my health and comply with all recommended precautions pertaining to my health and safety. I have further arranged, through insurance or otherwise, to meet any and all needs for payment of health care coverage or medical costs that I may incur while I participate in the Trip.
The company may, but is not obligated to, make any decisions and take any actions regarding my health and safety that it considers to be warranted under the circumstances, and I hereby authorize the Company to make such decisions and take such actions. I agree to pay all expenses relating thereto and release the Company from any liability for any such actions.
I understand and agree that I must comply with all applicable Trip rules, regulations and policies governing participants on this trip. I understand and agree that the Company reserves the right to dismiss me from the Trip at any time should my actions or general behavior, in the sole discretion of the Company, be determined to break the rules of the host country, constitute a danger to myself, others, or is a detriment to the progress and objectives of the Trip in any way.
