Always ask before taking pictures of people and locals, and respect their decision if they refuse. You should always ask your travel guide before taking any picture when visiting an indigenous community. As a thank you gift, do not offer money, which could only support a begging mentality within the local people. Instead, give small gifts from your country, or ask your guide or our travel agency to send back copies of the picture to the community or to the people themselves. You will give locals a positive feeling that can build trust for future travelers.
