The register exists to identify guides who have demonstrated, in the field, mastery of the Five Core Competencies that govern long-term work in tropical rainforest environments.
Expeditions, research teams, broadcasters and organisations can draw from the register when they need leadership that has been measured against a known standard — not a self-declared one.
Admission is by assessment in the Darién. There is no application list — guides are considered when their work in the field has been observed and verified against the Five Core Competencies.
