Cancellation

Cancellation of a reservation has specific deadlines depending on the season and conditions, as follows: If a deposit has been made and, due to circumstances beyond the customer’s control, they cannot go on their trip, the reservation can be postponed to another date with the same characteristics as the initial reservation. Below are the deadlines for reservation cancellations without charging a No Show (Failure to Arrive): One (1) week before the Tour date.

Last-Minute Cancellation

In the case of direct customers or travel agencies canceling, the operator will not refund the total payment or deposit made.

No Show

In the event of a No Show by a Direct Customer or Travel Agency, the corresponding value of one (1) day of the tour will be charged for the Reservation Cancellation. In the case of Force Majeure, the situation will be assessed, and the management will proceed according to their discretion, deducting the operation and transportation costs that would correspond to Bank Charges. The rest of the money will be refunded within the time stipulated by management.

Refund

The process for refunding the deposit will be as follows:

  • Retention of 10% of the total payment from the client for bank charges.
  • The Customer or Travel Agency must provide a letter requesting the refund of the money and stating the reason for the Reservation Cancellation, specifying the Account Number to which the money will be deposited, preferably in the name of the Reservation Holder.
  • The refund will be processed within 5 to 8 business days after the request is made. If the Reservation Cancellation corresponds to an Event, it will be handled according to the specifications and conditions agreed upon by both parties in the service order or contract.
