Mundo Antiguo Tours is obligated to provide the reserved service in conformity with the information that was sent before the reservation to the client. In case of complaints that cannot be solved satisfactory, the client can present his complaint with the therefore authorized Peruvian authorities.

A) UNEXPECTED CIRCUNSTANCES

1. We reject any responsibility in case of unexpected or uncontrollable circumstances or in case of incidents that concern the responsibility of the client. Furthermore, we are not responsible for delays or cancellations of flights or from any other means of transport that influence the further program of the client.

2. We reserve the right to cancel or modify any program due to unexpected or uncontrollable circumstances (for example: climatic circumstances, affairs in the internal political situation, wars, strikes, natural disasters or other excesses) that makes it impossible to complete with the clients program or to guarantee the safety of our staff and / or the client.

3. We reject any responsibility in case of extraordinary situations that have to do with the clients’ safety and that can lead to personal injuries, loss or theft of personal belongings, or other consequences, caused by actions, illegitimate behaviour or neglect of the client himself.

4. We reserve the right to cancel any program due to the clients’ bad health or physical condition.

5. Loss, because of cancellations due to the above-described incidents cannot be compensated when the client can be blamed for the incident (for example: neglect, illegitimate behaviour, or the clients’ bad health).

When the client cannot be blamed for the above-described incidents, the loss (due to for example: climatic circumstances, natural disasters, strikes or wars) will be compensated as far reasonably possible by Mundo Antiguo Tours. The loss compensated by Mundo Antiguo Tours cannot be more than 80% of the total costs of the service reserved with Mundo Antiguo Tours. In case of reservations made by Mundo Antiguo Tours with third parties (for example: transport companies, hotels, the Inca Trail or any other excursion to Machu Picchu), restitution of the costs will depend on the general conditions of this third party.

The possible extra costs made in case of modifications of the program due to the above-described incidents, will always be charged to the client. We will only modify the program after receiving the clients’ approval by letter and the possible extra payment. Mundo Antiguo Tours reserves the right to cancel the program without the possibility of restitution, when the client doesn’t approve with the suggested modification.

6. We reserve the right to occasionally collaborate with other operators in case we do not have the personal to operate the tour ourselves. The client will always be notified in advance.

In case of the clients’ participation in sports or activities subscribed as ‘dangerous’ (for example: paragliding, rafting, mountain biking, mountaineering), the client must have an insurance that covers these activities. We can ask the client to demonstrate his insurance before his participation in those activities. We fully reject any responsibility in case of incidents or injuries in those sports and activities; the client takes the full responsibility.
