All our services are performed with the prepayment of tours / packages / services agreed, according to duration, season, availability, conditions, etc. (the coordination of payments will be established between the customer and the designated counter / sale operator).
Our customers must pay 100% of the amount in advance; when the conditions occur and in accordance with our counters (personal), our customers can send just the 80% at the time of booking, and the balance (20%) two weeks before the beginning of the tour.
Without exception, we require the final payment of the agreed services at least two weeks before the beginning of the service. Otherwise, the clients may lose some bookings they already paid.
The payments will be made in dollars.

We have these following payment methods:
Note: Any transfer of money should not take more than the specific written time; in case of delay in the arrival of the money, we will not be liable if, because of this reason, any space or reservation in the tours will be lost.
Client has to pay the amount of the contracted service by our payment procedures, we won’t be responsible if client will use other payment options and his/her money will not arrive in time and we may lose the availabilities
In hotel reservations in Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Ecuador, all tourists are exempt from paying taxes, for this, it is necessary to present the original passport with the stamp of entry to the country at the time of check in. In the case of a shared room, if one of the passengers does not meet the requirements for exemption from the tax, the entire room will be affected by the tax and must be paid according to the percentage of each country. In Peru, Peruvians and foreigners domiciled or resident in Peru are subject to 18% IGV according to the Law (Dec.Leg.919).
Before reconfirming to our passengers about the availability of places for the tour they wish to do or the package they want to buy, we’ll ask to our agents and / or partners about the availability of spaces, and once assured about that, we will give the green light to the passenger, so that they can make the relevant payment.
Our passengers will proceed to transfer the money for the service provided (using the payment methods mentioned above), and they must send us their personal data, such as passport numbers, nationality, age, gender, occupation, food preferences or other important details that they deem necessary to be mentioned (pains, diseases, etc...). For some adventure tours, we’ll ask to know height and weight of the passengers....
If the client doesn't send the requested documents and payments on time, we won't be able to guarantee availability or prices quoted by us. Prices may vary based on availability.
Important: for the entry to the Inca Trail, to the Machu Picchu, as well as for the purchase of train tickets and certain hotel reservations, we’ll ask the passengers to send us their passports scanned. We must verify that, in these scans that the passengers are sending us, personal information could be clearly legible: it is important also in order to check the dates of birth of children.
Once the money is in our banking accounts, we will reconfirm the agreed services to our customers via e-mail, and then we’ll proceed immediately to pay our suppliers for the services purchased by our customers: this is the only way to ensure an optimal development of the agreed service.

Group services are ones open to all tourists who wish to participate in the same activity of our passengers, who will share with them the same agreed services. This means that there are more passengers in the same group, and these passengers may be: free passengers, our partners’ ones or coming from other travel agencies.
