At At Peru Expedition, we understand that travel plans can change due to unforeseen circumstances. However, because services in Cusco (especially entry tickets to Machu Picchu, Inca Trail permits, and train tickets) must be paid in advance and are strictly nominative, non-refundable, and non-transferable by government regulation, we apply the following cancellation and refund conditions.
By confirming your booking with an advance payment, you accept these policies in their entirety.
If you wish to cancel your booking (with the exception of the Inca Trail, detailed in Section 2), penalties will be applied based on how far in advance you notify us of the cancellation in writing to our email admin@atperuexpedition.com:
| Notice Period | Applied Penalty | Refund Details |
|---|---|---|
| More than 30 days before the tour start | Non-recoverable costs only | The remaining balance is refunded, minus credit card/platform transaction fees and the cost of tickets already purchased (Machu Picchu, trains, etc.). |
| Between 15 and 29 days before the tour start | 50% of the total cost of the tour | A penalty of 50% of the total booked tour value is applied. The remaining balance (if any) is refunded. |
| Less than 14 days before or No Show | 100% of the total cost of the tour | No refund of any kind will be issued under any circumstances. |
Due to strict regulations imposed by SERNANP and the Ministry of Culture of Peru, permits for the Inca Trail (Classic 4-Day or Short 2-Day) are 100% non-refundable, non-transferable to other people, and do not allow date changes under any circumstances.
Before requesting a cancellation, we highly suggest exploring a rescheduling option.
At Peru Expedition is not liable for cancellations, interruptions, delays, or changes to itineraries caused by force majeure events beyond the company’s control. These events include:
Our Backup Policy: In the event of force majeure, the Company will not refund services already paid to third parties, but we will do everything within our power to reschedule the activities, offer alternative trekking routes (such as swapping Salkantay for another route if the pass is blocked), or issue a Travel Credit Voucher valid for 12 months.
Trekking the Andes is a unique adventure experience, but it is exposed to nature and complex logistical factors. At Peru Expedition strictly requires all passengers to have active Travel Insurance with cancellation coverage.
A good travel insurance policy will reimburse 100% of your logistical losses in Cusco if you have to cancel your trip due to medical reasons, family emergencies, or flight disruptions.
