Policy on Pets/Service Animals - ECHO Global Farm

Introduction

Welcome to the Policy on Pets/Service Animals page of ECHO Global Farm, a proud initiative by Aventuras Naturales. In this detailed guide, we aim to provide you with comprehensive information regarding our policy on pets and service animals during your visit to our esteemed farm. We believe in responsible travel and tourism, ensuring that our visitors have an enjoyable and safe experience while respecting the natural environment and the well-being of our animals.

Our Philosophy

At ECHO Global Farm, we value the comfort and safety of all our visitors. We also strive to maintain a harmonious environment for our diverse range of animals. Therefore, we have established a well-thought-out policy that considers the needs of both our guests and our non-human residents.

Policy Overview

As part of our commitment towards responsible tourism and animal welfare, ECHO Global Farm has implemented the following policy:

1. Pets

For the well-being of all animals at our farm, we kindly request that visitors do not bring their pets along during their visit. We understand the special bond between you and your furry companions, but the presence of outside animals can disrupt the natural behavior and health of our resident animals. However, we offer designated pet-friendly areas near the entrance where you can safely leave your pets. Our staff there will ensure their comfort and well-being while you explore our farm.

2. Service Animals

ECHO Global Farm supports and welcomes visitors with disabilities accompanied by their registered service animals. We understand the importance of service animals in facilitating the independence, mobility, and safety of individuals with disabilities. Therefore, visitors with certified service animals are permitted to bring them along during their visit. However, we kindly request that you inform us in advance about your intention to bring a service animal so that we can make suitable arrangements to ensure both your and the animal's comfort and safety.

3. Etiquette and Responsibilities

When visiting ECHO Global Farm with a service animal, we request that you adhere to the following guidelines:

• Keep your service animal on a leash or harness at all times, unless doing so interferes with the service animal's work or the individual's disability.
• Ensure your service animal is well-behaved and under control, avoiding any disruptive or aggressive behavior towards other visitors or animals.
• Properly clean up after your service animal and maintain cleanliness in all public areas.
• Inform our staff beforehand if your service animal requires any specific accommodations or has any unique needs during your visit.
