4. Single Supplement
All accommodations (hotel, boats, tents, jungle lodge, etc.) are based on double occupancy. We will try to find roommates for single travelers willing to share accommodations. If this is not feasible or if you prefer single accommodations, you will be assessed the Single Supplement charge listed for the itinerary.

5. Cancellation by Customer
If you must cancel, all reservation deposits will be returned minus a cancellation fee. Cancellations must be in writing. If made 61 or more days prior to departure, the cancellation fee is $250. If made 31 – 60 days prior to departure, the fee is 50% of the Trip Cost and if made 30 days or less prior to departure the cancellation fee is 100% of the Trip Cost.

The Trip Cost is quoted as a package and credits are not given for services not used.

VENTURE PERU LLC reserves the right to cancel any trip due to insufficient sign-up (not meeting the 2 person minimum), which makes the trip economically unfeasible to operate. If this happens, a full refund is given.

Only if single occupancy rate is paid the tour will continue with 1 person.

7. Prices, Surcharges and Validity
As we publish our prices in advance, VENTURE PERU LLC may occasionally be faced with significant cost increase due to factors over which we have no control. Consequently, we reserve the right to charge the customer a surcharge (or price decreases) due to unfavourable exchange rates, increases in air fares or other transportation costs, taxes, or if government action should require us to do so. Surcharges will be calculated according to the full extra cost, compared to the original costs
and exchange rates.

We loved the hotels and great food Marcus arranged for us on the trip. He catered to all our needs. We could not have taken this trip without his services, he was an excellent guide.
