Tambopata Travel E.I.R.L. acts strictly as an agent for the service provider and assumes no liability for any injury, damage, loss, accident or delay during the service period. Likewise, no liability or responsibility is assumed for any losses or expenses incurred due to delays, changes in services by air, water or land, illness, strikes or other actions, weather, legal or other claims, costs and fees, or other reasons. Any such expenses will need to be borne by the client. For this reason it is recommended that you take out comprehensive travel insurance covering trip delays, medical expenses and emergency assistance, accidental death, baggage loss or delay and any other eventualities.

All participants should be in good health. If you suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, weight-related problems or any other medical conditions which may affect your capacity to undertake our activities, please consult your physician before travelling. By participating in our experiences and activities you undertake to assume responsibility for the evaluation of your health status as well as assuming and bearing the costs of any eventualities resulting from your medical condition.

By undertaking this rainforest experience and associated activities, you do so voluntarily and after considering and in spite of any risks involved.

The service operator reserves the right to modify the itinerary of your tour if air schedule or surface transportation changes and/or events beyond their control, local weather or other conditions make such changes necessary. Any unused portion of package is non refundable after commencement of trip.

Each participant/passenger is responsible for ensuring that all travel documents (e.g. passports, visas, vaccination certificates etc.) are valid and effective.

On booking you will be asked for the following details which are taken as accurate and Tambopata Travel E.I.R.L. cannot be held responsible for any misinformation on the part of the client:

  • Full Name as it appears on your passport
  • Date of Birth
  • Passport Number
  • Nationality
  • Physical and postal address
  • Special dietary requirements (we gladly cater for vegetarians)
  • Allergies (we will endeavour to minimise your contact with any foods to which you have allergies, but, for example, peanuts are used in many Peruvian dishes and virtually invisible residue may be present in some instances – we therefore strongly recommend that you always bring along any necessary medication for your specific allergy)
  • An emergency email or telephone contact
  • Flight details

By purchasing your rainforest experience you assume full responsibility for all of the above.

Rates

Rates are per person in the type of room specified and are valid until the end of the month that the booking is made. A park entry fee applies to Tambopata Research Center and Refugio Amazonas programs.

Payment

The reservation is confirmed upon receipt of a completed booking form for each guest. Payment in full of the amount invoiced is due at least 30 days prior to the start of the trip. If payment in full is not received on or before the due date, the reservation may be cancelled, and any partial payments made are subject to the cancellation policy.

Payment may be made by electronic bank transfer, using a transfer service (e.g. Wise), or by credit card. Electronic fund transfers (EFT) can be made to the bank account supplied, but the rate quoted does not include any international banking fees, these need to be borne by the client and cannot be assumed by Tambopata Travel E.I.R.L. Intermediary bank charges for electronic transfers to Peru may vary between US$85 and US$125, please enquire about these with your bank and, if necessary, add the necessary amount to your transfer when making payment. Requesting a net amount transfer often helps to minimise any intermediary bank fees. Any significant shortfall can be covered by a cash deposit in Cusco.

Credit card payments incur a 5% surcharge in Peru and this amount will need to be added to your payment if using this method. A secure, temporary link will be generated for a credit card payment and sent via email.

Once you send your payment you should inform Tambopata Travel E.I.R.L by e-mail with all your payment details. A detailed receipt will be provided once your payment I received.

Cancellations

Cancellations made 15 days or more before the departure date will be refunded in full, minus a 5% administrative fee + any relevant bank charges.
Cancellations made less than 15 days before the departure date will not be refunded.

If you do not arrive for your paid and booked rainforest experience you are liable for full payment and no refund will be given. You are therefore advised to take out travel and medical insurance covering any cancellation or delay eventuality including flights.
