  • Management, processing, and confirmation of the reservation.

The Passenger may exercise their rights of access, rectification, cancellation, and opposition (ARCO) by contacting us through our official channels.

4Deposits and Payment Policy

Initial Deposit

To confirm any service, a non-refundable initial deposit is required. The deposit amount depends on the type of service booked:

Type of ServiceRequired Deposit

1-day tours and short excursions100% of total

This deposit is 100% non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances, including medical emergencies, as it is used immediately for the purchase of permits, entrance tickets, train tickets, hotel reservations, and other services with suppliers.

Outstanding Balance

The remaining balance must be paid in full at least 48 hours before the tour start date. The traveler will not be able to start the tour without having completed the full payment. Failure to settle the balance within the specified timeframe may be considered a cancellation by the client and will be subject to the penalties outlined in Section 7.

5Itineraries and Operational Modifications

Our itineraries are designed as a travel guide. PERU RESERVATIONS E.I.R.L. reserves the right to modify the order of excursions, accommodations, or routes for operational, logistical, force majeure reasons, or to optimize the traveler's experience, while always ensuring that all included services are provided.

Train routes and schedules are subject to availability from railway companies (PeruRail, IncaRail). The itinerary may be adjusted as necessary. The Company commits to informing the client of any significant changes as far in advance as possible.

6Date Changes

Date changes are subject to a minimum penalty of US$200.00 per person. The final amount may vary depending on the tour booked.

This penalty exists because the original tickets (Machu Picchu, trains, etc.) are forfeited and non-refundable. The penalty covers the acquisition of new tickets.

All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing (email) through our official channels, by the same person who made the reservation.

8Service Interruption and Additional Considerations

Trek/Tour Abandonment or Interruption

If the client decides to abandon the trek or tour once it has started, no refund will be issued. All subsequent additional costs (meals, accommodation, alternative transportation) will be the sole responsibility of the client.

Health Issues During the Tour

If the client is unable to begin or continue the trek/tour due to health problems, no refunds will be issued. Company staff will accompany the participant to the nearest emergency assistance. Evacuation costs (including helicopter) and medical treatment are the sole responsibility of the traveler.

Voluntary Non-Use of Services

No refund will be provided for services not used due to the Passenger's voluntary decision (e.g., choosing not to take a train, leaving a tour midway, not showing up for a briefing). Absences from briefings or the tour departure point are considered no-shows, with no right to a refund.

9Force Majeure and Extraordinary Events

PERU RESERVATIONS E.I.R.L. shall not be held liable nor provide a full refund for interruptions, modifications, or cancellations of services due to circumstances beyond our direct control, including but not limited to:

Adverse weather conditions (torrential rains, landslides, snowfall)
Natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions)
Social unrest (strikes, work stoppages, road blockades, protests)
Decisions or regulations imposed by governmental or health authorities (pandemics, quarantines, closures)

In Such Cases, the Company Commits to:

  • Rescheduling services if possible and mutually agreed upon with the client.
  • Seeking viable operational alternatives to fulfill the itinerary to the extent possible.
  • Offering an alternative route when the original route is not viable for safety reasons.

Pandemics or Global Events

If a service cannot be provided due to a pandemic or other global event, no refunds will be issued. An open ticket will be offered to use the service on an alternative date, subject to availability.

*Additional expenses incurred by the client (extra hotel nights, meals, replacement flight tickets) will not be covered by the Company, reinforcing the necessity of adequate travel insurance.

10Passenger Responsibilities

Personal Information

It is their responsibility to provide accurate and complete personal information (full name as it appears on travel documents, date of birth, nationality, etc.) for the correct issuance of tickets and reservations.

Travel Documents

They must carry their original passport and/or identification document used for the reservation throughout the entire trip. The passport must have a minimum validity of 6 months beyond the travel date. If you renew your passport before the trip, you must inform us immediately and send a photo of both documents. It is the Passenger's responsibility to verify visa requirements and necessary documentation for entry into Peru.

Medical Certificate (70+ Years)

For passengers over 70 years of age participating in hiking and/or adventure tours (such as the Inca Trail, Salkantay, etc.), it is mandatory to present an updated medical certificate confirming good health and physical fitness, issued no more than 30 days prior to the tour start date. If the certificate is not presented or relevant medical information is omitted, Peru Reservations may refuse to provide the service without a refund.

Travel Insurance - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The Company strongly recommends that the Passenger purchase comprehensive travel insurance covering, at a minimum: trip cancellation, medical assistance, emergency evacuation, medical repatriation, and lost luggage. PERU RESERVATIONS E.I.R.L. shall not be responsible for expenses incurred due to lack of insurance coverage.

Conduct and Behavior

The Company reserves the right to immediately suspend services, without any refund, if the Passenger shows signs of drunkenness, use of prohibited substances, disorderly conduct, or behavior that risks their safety, the safety of other passengers, the guide, or equipment. All expenses resulting from this suspension will be borne by the Passenger.

11Special Policies - Inca Trail

Inca Trail permits are personal, non-transferable, and non-refundable. No name changes or date changes are allowed after the permit has been purchased. These conditions are imposed by the Peruvian Government (Ministry of Culture), not by the agency.

If the Inca Trail is declared closed due to natural calamities, maintenance, or government order, Peru Reservations will offer an alternative trek of similar characteristics.

Student Discount

  • Walking pace: May vary according to the physical capabilities of the group. All participants are expected to maintain a reasonable pace.
  • Tips: Tips are voluntary but always welcomed for guides, cooks, porters, and drivers.

14Limitation of Liability

PERU RESERVATIONS E.I.R.L. acts as an intermediary (tour operator) between the Client and the final service providers (hotels, airlines, railway companies, restaurants, etc.). Therefore, the Company shall not be held liable for injuries, personal damages, property loss, accidents, delays, irregularities, or expenses incurred resulting from acts, omissions, or negligence of such providers.

Peru Reservations' financial liability is limited to the total amount paid for the tour.

15Right to Use Images

By participating in Peru Reservations tours, the client authorizes the use of photographs and videos taken during activities for promotional and marketing purposes, without financial compensation. If the client does not wish their images to be used, they must notify us by email before the start of the trip at info@peru-reservations.com.

16Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms and conditions shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Peru. For any dispute or discrepancy arising from the interpretation, execution, or breach of this contract, the parties expressly submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Cusco, waiving any other jurisdiction that may otherwise apply.
