By booking with EDGAR ADVENTURES (“The Agency”), you acknowledge that you accept these “Terms” on your behalf and on behalf of all other participants in your group. You (the “Client”) agree to these Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”).
The client must distinguish between PACKAGES and TOURS:
(1) “Packages” and (2) “Tours”.
This refers to tourist services lasting more than 4 days that include: transportation, entrance tickets, guided services, accommodation, and other services necessary for the operation of the contracted tour package. Packages can be booked through our website.
This refers to tourist services lasting from 1 to 3 days. These may include accommodation, transportation, entrance tickets, and guided services. Tours can be booked through our website or by direct sale at our physical offices.
Prices include only the services specifically mentioned as included in the service confirmation.
Any services not explicitly listed as included are not covered. For example:
Prices are quoted in U.S. dollars (US$) and/or Peruvian Soles (S/.) based on the exchange rate at the time the “Contract” or “Booking” is made. The exchange rate from USD to local currency will be determined by “The Agency.” Any changes in service costs, taxes, fees, or exchange rates may result in a price revision.
For groups (10 or more people) or special services/quotes, different payment terms may apply, generally requiring payment 45 days in advance.
If the Client modifies the itinerary after receiving a confirmed travel program, any costs imposed by our providers due to such changes will be charged. “The Agency” will do its best to accommodate the requested changes, subject to availability.
Reservations may be transferred to another person with written notice at least 30 days prior to arrival. Any provider fees due to the change must be covered by the Client. Some tickets (e.g., Huayna Picchu or Inca Trail) are non-transferable and must be repurchased.
If the Client cancels the reservation for reasons unrelated to the “Agency,” the cancellation must be submitted in writing. The initial deposit is non-refundable. Payments for flights, cruises, certain train services, and Inca Trail permits are also non-refundable due to provider policies.
Cancellations made less than 30 days before the tour date are subject to the following penalties:
For large groups (10+ people) or special services, different cancellation timelines may apply.
Partial cancellations may result in surcharges for the remaining participants (e.g., single occupancy fees).
Clients may postpone their trip to any date within one year of the original arrival date and receive travel credit. Notification must be given in writing at least 30 days in advance. The new date need not be confirmed at the time of postponement.
Note: Some services and hotels may require early booking due to demand or limited availability.
“The Agency” will make every effort to operate tours as confirmed. However, due to political events, price changes, flight cancellations, weather conditions, or other unforeseen situations, “The Agency” reserves the right to change or cancel routes or prices.
“The Agency” will inform the Client immediately of the reasons for changes or cancellations. It reserves the right to cancel or modify any facilities, services, or prices (including flights, accommodation, or other services) and to replace them with alternatives of comparable value without compensation. It is not liable for loss of enjoyment due to such changes.
“The Agency” is not responsible for changes in departure/arrival times of transportation services beyond its control.
It is the Client’s responsibility to hold a valid passport, obtain any necessary visas, and comply with vaccination and health requirements.
For international travel, Clients must comply with all relevant laws. It is the Client’s sole responsibility to have all required personal and family documentation, such as visas, vaccinations, and other permits.
Clients are advised to carry their personal documents and the Andean Immigration Card (TAM) issued upon entry to Peru. This card exempts visitors from certain local taxes and may be required at airports, border crossings, and tourist sites like Machu Picchu.
