This Payment Policy applies to travel packages, hotel reservations, airline tickets, transportation services, excursions, and any other service requested by the traveler.

NO-SHOW, CANCELLATION, TERMINATION, AND REFUND POLICIES

INKATRACES S.C.R.L. has no control over these companies. Therefore, in all travel arrangements, our agency acts on behalf of and at the request of our clients, arranging transportation, accommodations, and other required travel services. Accordingly, we assume no liability for accidents, injuries, losses, damages, delays, inconveniences, or any other irregularity caused by defects in any vehicle, or by the omission, carelessness, or negligence of any company or person contracted to provide all or part of the tourism services offered.

We are also not responsible for disruptions resulting from vandalism, strikes, war, government actions, weather conditions, or any other circumstances that may generate additional expenses due to delays, itinerary changes, or other causes.

INKATRACES S.C.R.L. is not responsible for illnesses, pregnancy, physical or mental conditions that may endanger the health or safety of the traveler or third parties during the contracted tour, or that may limit or prevent the provision of tourism services. Therefore, the Company will not accept claims or issue refunds for the circumstances mentioned above, including cases in which no issue is apparent under normal conditions.

We request that travelers inform us, before contracting our services, of any such limitations so that we may recommend services suited to their needs.

INKATRACES S.C.R.L. reserves the right to accept or reject any reservation request from any traveler, for any tour or travel package, or to cancel or modify a travel package when circumstances warrant it.

CANCELLATION, REFUND, AND NO-SHOW POLICIES

INKATRACES S.C.R.L. acts solely as an intermediary agent for travelers. Its role is to arrange services provided by airlines, bus operators, train operators, general transportation providers, hotels, tour operators, and/or any other independent company, hereinafter referred to as THE COMPANIES.

INKATRACES S.C.R.L. has no control over THE COMPANIES. Therefore, in all travel arrangements, our agency acts on behalf of and at the request of our clients, arranging transportation, accommodations, and other required tourism services. As providers have different cancellation and refund policies, each case must be evaluated and consulted directly with the applicable service providers.

CANCELLATIONS

If a cancellation request is received up to and including 60 days before the travelers’ arrival date, the return or refund will be subject to a 15% administrative fee, which shall in no case be less than US$100.00, or its equivalent in Peruvian soles using the weighted average selling exchange rate in effect on the payment date, per traveler.

This fee is in addition to penalties imposed by each service provider, hotel, airline, etc., as well as financial charges associated with bank transfer costs, credit card fees, and any other expense or cost associated with the refund.

If a cancellation request is received up to and including 45 days before the travelers’ arrival date, the return or refund will be subject to a 35% cancellation fee, in addition to penalties imposed by each service provider, hotel, airline, etc., as well as financial charges associated with bank transfer costs, credit card fees, and any other expense or cost associated with the refund.

If a cancellation request is received 35 to 20 days before the travelers’ arrival date, the return or refund will be subject to a 65% cancellation fee, in addition to penalties imposed by each service provider, hotel, airline, etc., as well as financial charges associated with bank transfer costs, credit card fees, and any other expense or cost associated with the refund.

Except for the exceptions specified below, no return or refund will be granted if the cancellation request is received 19 days or fewer before the travelers’ arrival date.

NO-SHOW

A traveler’s full or partial cancellation of services may result in a penalty or total loss of the service, depending on the circumstances, requested services, and the cancellation policy of each service provider.

A reservation is considered a no-show when the traveler does not appear at the scheduled start time of each service. In such cases, it will be treated as a voluntary refusal of service, with no right to a claim or refund. No refunds or returns will be issued for unused portions of travel packages or stays.

REFUNDS

If a travel package includes bus and/or train transportation services that have already been issued, no return or refund will be granted for those services.

Programs scheduled for special dates, such as Holy Week, National Holidays, New Year’s, long weekends, roadblocks, confirmed vacations, and groups with private services, require advance payment as described in each quotation and are non-refundable.

For groups with departures on established dates where the traveler has paid 100% of the sale price and requests a partial or full cancellation, a penalty equal to 100% of the sale price will apply.

Certain services may be interrupted or canceled due to weather conditions, force majeure, disturbances, or other circumstances beyond the control of hotels, airlines, providers, or the agency itself. No return or refund will be granted as a result of interruptions or cancellations beyond our control.

All refund requests and claims must be submitted to our offices no later than eight days after the completion of the service.

INKATRACES S.C.R.L. will not be able to process claims received after the stated deadline, as the time elapsed may make it difficult to carry out the relevant investigations.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

All travelers must notify us before final billing if they require an invoice or receipt for services and/or airline tickets.

Please note that, under SUNAT regulations (National Superintendency of Customs and Tax Administration), airline tickets with fares constitute proof of payment for the person using them. Therefore, the national identity document number, passport number, or RUC number is included. Once the invoice or proof of payment has been issued, it cannot be replaced.

INKATRACES S.C.R.L. expressly declares that it acts as an intermediary between travelers and the entities or individuals providing the services listed in the itineraries, such as transportation companies, hotels, restaurants, and service operators.

We are responsible for arranging the services mentioned, but disclaim all liability for delays caused by strikes, weather conditions, earthquakes, storms, or any loss, damage, accident, or irregularity affecting travelers or their belongings caused by third parties beyond the operator’s control.

The traveler shall bear all such losses or expenses. By making a reservation and/or purchasing any of our programs, or accepting any individual program and/or service, the user or final recipient of the service is deemed to have read, understood, and accepted each of these terms and conditions.
