ACCEPTANCE OF RISK

Some of ANDES IMMERSION E.I.R.L. itineraries have been designed to provide participants with an exposure to the true nature of the environment visited. They therefore involve an element of personal risk and exposure to potential, which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to the client, his/her property or to third parties. The client understands that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity and therefore assumes them as part of the tour. The client accepts that he/she is aware of his physical and health condition and that, under the knowledge of this he/she decides to undertake the above-mentioned risks. The client excludes ANDES IMMERSION E.I.R.L. from any responsibility linked to any accident or injury that may occur associated to the clients’ health, physical condition or other. You must advise ANDES IMMERSION E.I.R.L. of any medical problems or allergies. You need to be in good physical health and if your health is questionable, then you should consult a doctor. If you are over the age of 60 years old, then you will need to present us with a current medical certificate.

BOOKING CONDITIONS

The itinerary is subject to change. Peru is still a developing country and as such we cannot guarantee everything will run as planned. Forces outside of our control may force us to change the itinerary. Strikes, road-blocks, landslides, cancellations of flights and trains and many other things all happen from time to time and there is nothing we can do to change that. We accept no liability for these but promise we will do our best to alter plans so that your trip runs as smoothly as possible. Think of it as part of the adventure.

INSURANCE:

Please ensure you have adequate travel insurance to cope with any medical emergencies, any costs incurred due to delayed or cancelled flights and for loss or delay of baggage.  A travel insurance for Machu Picchu treks or hikes is a must. In fact, most tour operators will require you to have ‘adequate’ cover. But what does adequate mean? What it doesn’t mean is standard travel insurance, as these policies don’t cut it at ‘high altitude’.

People visiting Peru can buy travel health plans to protect themselves and their traveling companions from large out-of-pocket expenses due to unforeseen injury or illness. Although health concerns are the primary reason people purchase trip insurance for Peru. we recommend World Nomads™ – Travel Insurance Peru

PRICE CHANGES:

From time to time service providers in Peru increase their prices with very little notice. In the case of flights, train fares and entrance fees to Machu Picchu and other sites we cannot accept responsibility for the increase and will have to pass it on to you the client. Any other price increase will be absorbed by us.
