Most people hear about Quetzaltrekkers through talking to other travellers, who convince them to hike volcanoes to help the kids in our school and safe house.

But we also give out free stickers to help spread the word.

This particular #QTsticker ended up on the summit of Pico Duarte, the highest point in the Caribbean, in the Dominican Republic. (At 3101m, it’s barely higher than the highpoint on our Lake Atitlan trek and lower than on all the other hikes we do but still a solid overnight trip from the nearest road.)

Chances are you’ll see one of our stickers when you take a lancha on Lake Atitlan or on even the barriers of the departure lounge in Aurora Airport in Guate City, where they’ve been known to prompt a tear or two from departing volunteer guides!

But they’ve also spread across the globe.

This one is in the main airport in Tuvalu, reputedly the world’s least-visited country.

How unvisited? Flights are so infrequent that the runway is considered a communal recreation space 99% of the time. (They must breed them tough in the south Pacific, if they play rugby on tarmac rather than grass.)

It’s not a great hiking destination, since it only takes an hour to walk the length of the main atoll and the highest peak is so low that Tuvalu is considered the nation most likely to disappear through rising sea levels.

(Full disclosure: I suspect the least visited country is actually war-torn Sudan, which claimed six visitors last year compared to 2000-odd for Tuvalu.)

Quetzaltrekkers is also representing at the inimitable Floyd’s Pelican Bar in Jamaica … or at least we hope it still is after Hurricane Melissa blasted through there this week.

Floyd built it from scrap wood on a sandbar off the southern coast to host friends returning from fishing trips, but its fame soon grew to make it something much bigger.

And so of course there’s now a yellow QT sticker on the crossbeam over the bar, between the Ohio number plate and the blue football shirt.

Heading much further south, a sticker was spotted on the Magellan Strait in Chile. It’s in the middle of the big window, near the sun/shade divide.

How about in Sao Tome and Principe, off the west coast of Africa?

It’s home to my pick for the world’s most awesome airport bar: Asas d’Avião, just next to Aeroporto Internacional de São Tomé.

This was built out of a pair of Lockheed Super Constellation aircraft abandoned when the then Portuguese colony had been the base to break the humanitarian blockade isolating the Biafran separatists in the Nigerian civil war in the 1960s.

The bar was literally built around the two planes and is a fine place for a quick beer before a flight.

And of course that made it a fine place for a Quetzaltrekkers sticker.

What about Haiti? On the back of the taptap — as pickup taxis are called there — heading from Cap-Haitiene towards Laferriere Citadel we snuck a QT sticker.

We’d hoped to have a QT sticker on Pico Bolivar, the highest point in Venezuela, but wintery conditions this month thwarted an ascent of the 4980m peak. (It turns out trail runners are bad combination with verglas-covered rocks. Who knew?)

So instead we had to make do with a sticker at 4800m in a shelter where we’d camped before attempting the climb.
