TOURS AND TREK ITINERARY
Times listed in itineraries are approximate and meant only as guidelines. Some itineraries may have early morning start times for sightseeing/expeditions in order to complete the touring during daylight hours or avoid afternoon heat in tropical and cold climates. It is your responsibility to arrive on time for all scheduled flights and package components. Arriving late may be considered a “no-show,” in which case you will not be eligible for a refund for the unused services. Occasionally, during holidays and certain periods, and/or due to unforeseen circumstances including weather conditions, there may be last-minute changes, sometimes after arrival, that affect the sequence of the tour, locations visited and/or hotels.
Therefore, we reserve the right to adjust the sequence and/or substitute any hotels with others of a similar category. In such cases, there will be no cost adjustment.
INSURANCE
We do not provide any travel insurance. It is the client’s responsibility to get adequate personal travel insurance before coming to Peru. The insurance must include personal accident, medical expenses, air ambulance, loss of personal effects, repatriation costs and any other expenses which may arise as a result of loss, damage, injury or inconvenience to the client.
If you are planning to participate in any activity considered “risky” by the insurance company e.g. trekking, climbing, rafting, etc. – make sure that these are included in your policy. Please bring a copy of the policy document with you. If a client becomes ill, we will do everything necessary to get him/her proper medical treatment, including evacuation from remote sites and hospitalization if necessary but these costs will be assumed by the individual client.
