Our Terms and Conditions are the first step in clearly establishing the rights, responsibilities, and conditions associated with our services, allowing us to arrange every detail so you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind and confidence.

Booking Confirmation and Acceptance

Once the customer has submitted a booking request to Suyarq Peru, the reservation will be subject to verification and confirmation of the corresponding payment.

As part of the booking process, Suyarq Peru will email the customer the final booking confirmation document along with the detailed itinerary, clearly specifying the services included and not included in the booked package, as well as the conditions, terms, and considerations applicable to the reservation.

The customer must carefully review all the information provided and promptly communicate any questions, requested changes, corrections, or concerns before the final confirmation of the reservation.

Once the corresponding documentation has been sent, if no response, comments, or objections are received from the customer, it will be understood that the customer has reviewed and accepted the information provided, the booked services, the booking conditions, and the Terms and Conditions established by Suyarq Peru.

1. CANCELLATION POLICIES

The deposit paid when confirming the reservation is 100% non-refundable. If the customer needs to cancel the reservation for any reason, additional charges may apply depending on how much time remains before the tour’s start date.

Because certain tourism services, such as admission tickets, train tickets, accommodations, and transportation, are subject to the cancellation policies of their respective providers, it is not always possible to recover the amounts paid. For this reason, cancellation requests will be subject to the conditions established for each service.

Cancellation Requests

To request the cancellation of a reservation, the customer must send a formal request by email to their Suyarq Peru sales advisor. The request must be submitted by the booking holder, meaning the person who made the reservation and paid the initial deposit. Cancellation requests submitted by third parties without proper authorization will not be processed.

Cancellations for personal reasons, including interpersonal conflicts, changes in plans, or circumstances related to personal relationships, will be subject to our cancellation policy and will not be refundable when stipulated by the applicable conditions. For this reason, we ask our customers to carefully review their travel plans before confirming the booking of our services.

Deposit Policy and Cancellation Charges

Once a reservation with Suyarq Peru has been confirmed, the initial deposit is non-refundable. Cancellations may be subject to additional charges, the amount of which will depend on the time elapsed and how close the tour’s start date is.

CANCELLATIONS OF MACHU PICCHU TICKETS, TRAIN TICKETS, HOTELS, AND TOUR PACKAGES

Admission tickets to tourist attractions, train tickets, hotel reservations, and any other services booked in advance are subject to the specific conditions of each provider.

If the customer cancels, Suyarq Peru will process the corresponding request. The refundable amount will depend on each provider’s conditions and the services for which payments can be recovered, excluding those that have already been issued or confirmed or that are non-refundable.

The following table details the applicable charges and corresponding conditions.

CANCELLATION CONDITIONS FOR ONE-DAY TOURS

This policy applies to one-day excursions, such as the Sacred Valley, Humantay Lake, Rainbow Mountain, City Tour, and other similar activities.

• Cancellations made more than 72 hours in advance: A full refund of 100% of the amount paid will be issued.
• Cancellations made less than 72 hours in advance: No refund will be issued. The amount paid will be non-refundable.
• Failure to appear (No-show): If the passenger does not arrive at the designated meeting place at the scheduled time to begin the excursion, they will not be entitled to any refund.

Tour Cancellation or Withdrawal by the Customer

Once the trek has begun, if the customer voluntarily decides to withdraw or is unable to continue due to health reasons or physical condition, they will not be entitled to a refund for any booked and unused services.

Furthermore, all additional expenses resulting from this situation, including meals, accommodations, transportation, and other services, will be the sole responsibility of the customer.

The possibility of rejoining the group to visit Machu Picchu on the last day will depend on logistical feasibility, transportation availability, and the validity of the corresponding admission tickets and reservations. This option is not guaranteed.

Natural Disasters and Force Majeure Events

Itinerary modifications: In the event of natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances beyond our control that prevent the normal provision of our services, Suyarq Peru reserves the right to cancel, interrupt, or modify the itinerary, always prioritizing the safety and well-being of our travelers.

If such circumstances make it impossible to provide the booked service, any refund will be subject to the conditions of the providers involved and any non-recoverable expenses already incurred. Refunds are not guaranteed for services that cannot be provided.

Pandemics and Unforeseen International Events

If a pandemic or any unforeseen circumstance beyond our control prevents us from providing the booked service, no refunds will be issued. As an alternative, the customer may request a new date to use the booked service, subject to availability and applicable conditions.

Customer Absence

Failure to attend briefing sessions: If the customer does not attend the scheduled briefing session before the excursion, this will be considered an unexcused absence. The customer will be responsible for reviewing the instructions and information previously provided.

Failure to attend guided tours: If the customer does not attend a scheduled guided tour or decides not to participate, this will be considered an unexcused absence. No refunds or compensation will be offered for unused services, in accordance with the booking conditions.

Important Notice

We recommend carefully reviewing the following considerations before starting your excursion to help ensure a satisfactory experience and avoid potential inconveniences during your trip.

3. PAYMENT METHODS AND CONDITIONS

Suyarq Peru accepts the following payment methods for the booking deposit and the remaining balance before the tour begins.

Final Payment

The outstanding balance must be paid no later than one day before the excursion begins, using any of the following payment methods:

• Cash: We accept payments in U.S. dollars (USD).

Payments in Peruvian soles (PEN) can only be made at our office and are subject to the exchange rate in effect on the payment date.

• PayPal: An additional 7% processing fee applies.
• Debit or credit card: An additional 5% processing fee applies.
• Payment via Western Union: The advance payment may be made through Western Union, subject to prior coordination with our sales representative. To do so, you must send your request to info@suyarqperu.com and, once the payment has been made, provide us with the MTCN code to verify the transfer.
• Payment by bank transfer: The customer will be responsible for covering all fees and additional charges imposed by financial institutions.

Initial Deposit Policy

Once the reservation has been confirmed, the initial deposit is considered non-refundable and non-transferable. This policy also applies in cases of medical emergencies, illness, or other personal circumstances. Therefore, medical reports or certificates will not be accepted as justification for requesting a refund.

Why Is the Initial Deposit Non-Refundable?

The deposit is immediately allocated to arranging and purchasing permits, admission tickets, hotel reservations, train tickets, as well as booking suppliers and other services necessary to ensure the proper organization of your excursion.

Because these commitments generate expenses that, in many cases, are non-refundable to our company, Suyarq Peru has established this policy to cover the costs incurred from the moment the reservation is confirmed. Consequently, the initial deposit cannot be refunded or transferred to another person or reservation.

4. DATE CHANGES

Penalties and Additional Charges for Date Changes

Any date change requested by the customer will be subject to a penalty per person, the amount of which will vary depending on the excursion or tour package booked.

Why Does This Charge Apply?

The penalty amount does not represent a profit for our company. Instead, it is used to purchase new admission tickets, since the original tickets reserved for the initial excursion date are forfeited and are neither refundable nor transferable.

Purchase of New Admission Tickets

Cost of additional admission tickets:

• Machu Picchu: US$50.00 penalty per person.
• Huayna Picchu: US$58.00 penalty per person.
• Machu Picchu Mountain: US$58.00 penalty per person.
• Any other additional admission ticket or modification requested by the customer.

Important Notice

Admission tickets to Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu, and Machu Picchu Mountain are non-refundable and non-transferable. Therefore, we recommend planning your trip in advance and carefully verifying your selected dates before making a reservation.

These conditions are subject to the policies established by Peru’s Ministry of Culture.

5. RULES AND POLICIES FOR INCA TRAIL TRAVELERS

Booking your Inca Trail adventure requires the issuance of a permit issued in the traveler’s name, which is personal and non-transferable. Due to the conditions established by the relevant authorities, it is essential to understand and comply with the following policies before confirming your reservation.

• Non-transferable permits: Permits issued for the Inca Trail are personal and non-transferable. Once issued, they cannot be assigned or transferred to another person.
• Non-refundable policy: Permits are non-refundable. If, for any reason, the traveler is unable to take part in the excursion, they will forfeit the amount paid for the permit, in accordance with applicable regulations.
• Date changes are not permitted: Once the permit has been purchased, it is not possible to modify the entry date or transfer the reservation to another date.
• Government rules and regulations: These conditions are not established by Suyarq Peru or by travel agencies. They are based on the requirements set by the relevant Peruvian authorities. Therefore, we must strictly comply with current regulations.
