Mitigating Risks with Professional Guidance

Furthermore, Taranenko emphasizes the importance of having knowledgeable guides during these tours. “Having a guide who knows the place and exactly which direction to take is crucial,” he explains. Venturing off on your own can lead to dangerous situations, as the region may contain unexploded ordnance.
