Cancellation policy

The percentages in the table above are of the full trip price, not of what you’ve paid at the time of booking.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of booking receive a full refund on all plans, including booking fees and insurance. After the 48-hour window, your refund depends on your selected protection plan and when you cancel. Core and Premium plans extend your cancellation rights beyond the Standard policy:

  • With Core, a covered reason gets you 75% of your trip cost back — even the day before you go.
  • With Premium, a covered reason gets you 100% of your trip cost back — and any other reason gets you 75%, right up to the day you leave.
What counts as a covered reason
  • Sudden illness or injury — yours, a travel companion’s, or an immediate family member’s, confirmed by a doctor
  • Death of a traveler or an immediate family member
  • A natural disaster affecting your destination or your departure point
  • A government travel advisory against travel to your destination

Changing your mind isn’t a covered reason. Premium is the only plan that covers that. Documentation is required for all insurance claims.

Everything the travel insurance covers

Both plans include travel insurance through Redpoint Travel Protection. Core insures 75% of your trip cost; Premium insures 100%.

Maximum per person:

  • Trip cancellation — up to 100% of your trip cost
  • Cancel for any reason — up to 75% of your trip cost (Premium only)
  • Trip interruption — 150% of the trip cost limit
  • Trip delay — $200 a day, $1,000 max
  • Itinerary change — $250
  • Single occupancy supplement — up to 100% of trip cost
  • Missed connection — $1,000
  • Travel inconvenience — $250 each, $750 max
  • Pet return — $1,000 per pet
  • Baggage and personal effects — $2,500, max $300 an item
  • Baggage delay — $600, after 12 hours
  • Baggage delivery — $100 per trip
  • Emergency medical expenses — $100,000
  • Medical evacuation and repatriation — up to $1,000,000

These are maximums. What a claim actually pays depends on what you can document and on the policy’s exclusions — pre-existing conditions and undeclared activities among them. We’ll send the full policy wording with your confirmation.

  • Join us on a guided 4-day hiking tour to Choquequirao! The trek offers a perfect blend of adventure, history, and a bit of comfort in the wild. We’ll hike challenging trails through the remote Andes, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes of lush forests, rivers, and valleys. The highlight of the tour are the ancient Incan ruins of Choquequirao, where few tourists venture, allowing for an authentic and intimate experience. Each day, we’ll relax at secluded campsites, with a private chef preparing fresh, gourmet meals with local ingredients. If you’re seeking a physically rewarding trek mixed with cultural discovery and a touch of comfort in nature, this is the tour for you!

    • We will pick you up from your hotel at 4am for a 4.5-hour ride in a private transport vehicle to Capuliyoc (2,915 meters / 9,564 feet). Along the way, you’ll see nice views of villages, valleys, and snow-capped mountains like The Humantay and Salkantay. Once at Capuliyoc, we will have breakfast and then meet our trekking team. Our tour guide will coordinate with them and pack all our equipment onto the horses.

      After breakfast, we will descend for 3 to 4 hours until we arrive at the campsite of Chiquisca (1,900m / 6,270ft), where we will have lunch. After lunch, our hike continues for another 4 hours until we arrive at Playa Rosalina, and then to Santa Rosa, where our first campsite is located. We will get accommodated and have a nice dinner.

      Once there, the guide will explain and we’ll visit every site.

    • It is advisable and important that you arrive in Cusco at least 2 days prior to the trek, in order to acclimatize to the altitude. The city of Cusco is located at 3,400 meters (11,150 ft) above sea level so you may feel slightly ill or dizzy due to altitude sickness, known as “soroche”.

      A few tips on dos and don’ts for acclimatizing in Peru:

        • Do not eat heavy food the day before traveling to Cusco.
        • Make sure you drink between 6-8 glasses of water the days before your trip and during your stay in Cusco.
        • Once you arrive at your hotel, lie down a few minutes before going out to explore the city.
        • Once you are ready to go out and explore the city, try not to become agitated climbing stairs or walking fast. The best thing is to enjoy every corner of Cusco with calm and respect.

    • The starting point of your Choquequirao tour is Cusco. To get there, most people fly into Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, also known as Cusco Airport (CUZ). From there, head to your accommodation in the city.

      Make sure to stay in Cusco at least two days prior to your trip, as it will help with acclimatization to the altitude, but you’re also starting your adventure very early in the morning of Day 1. Your guide will come pick you up early in the morning of Day 1 at your hotel.

    • We highly recommend that you cover all your bases with insurance. To make your booking and traveling experience as carefree as possible, you’ll be offered to simply insure your trip with Redpoint at checkout.

      Redpoint—the official 57hours insurance partner—tailors protection packages for adventure travel, offering a comprehensive travel program, even in remote locations! Trip cancellation, natural disasters, pandemic coverage, medical evacuation, primary medical expenses—regardless of the travel interruption that may happen, Redpoint will have you covered.
