BOOKINGS

Your reservation is confirmed and a contract exists when the Tour Operator or your travel agent issues a written confirmation after receipt of the applicable deposit amount. Please check your confirmation carefully and report any incorrect or incomplete information to the Tour Operator or authorized agent immediately. Make sure that the names are exactly those indicated in the corresponding passport.

YOU WILL PAY A DEPOSIT THAT IS NON – REFUNDABLE IN ANY SITUATION. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.

You will be asked to show the original passport (not a copy) with which you booked, at the checkpoint to enter the Inca Trail, Machu Picchu If you originally booked with an old passport and then renewed your passport, you must also bring your passport expired along with your new valid passport to allow entry or they will refuse your entry to the trail and Machu Picchu.

The only acceptable identification to receive a student discount is your university card with a clear expiration date that must be the same year as a hike. Identifications with expiration dates the following year, although clearly valid, will not be accepted by the Peruvian government. You must send a copy of this card at the time of booking.

Cancellations: Your deposit is 100% non-refundable. If you need to cancel for any reason, as you get closer to your tour start date, there may be additional cost due.

MEDICAL INFORMATION

  • You must inform MPC of any medical problems or allergies you may have. You need to be in good physical health, and if your health is questionable, then you should see a doctor. If you are over the age of 70, then you will need to provide us with a current medical certificate of good health.
