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.

  • This guided Valencia hiking tour covers 7 days and six entirely different landscapes of the Valencian interior, starting in the red sandstone ridges of Sierra Calderona and finishing in the thermal canyon gorges of the Mijares River. Along the way, we hike a 2,000-year-old Roman aqueduct carved into limestone cliffs, cross the famous suspension bridges above the Turia gorge, and climb to the ruins of Castillo de Castro with panoramic views over the Sierra d'Espadà. Transport between all trailheads, 3-4 star hotels with buffet breakfast, and an expert hiking guide included, so all that’s left to do is to join in.

    • After pickup from Valencia or the airport, we head straight into the Sierra Calderona to open the week right. The route winds through aromatic Mediterranean scrub and striking red sandstone formations unique to this part of Spain. By the time we reach the summit of El Garbí, the entire Valencian coastal plain is laid out below us, with the sea catching light on the horizon. A strong first day and a very good first view.

      Accommodation: 3-4 star hotel
      Hiking: 12.5 km (7.8 mi)
      Elevation: +550 m (+1,800 ft)

      El Garbi

    • We head to the village of Chelva, where history and landscape become inseparable. Today’s hike follows the path of a Roman aqueduct carved directly into the limestone cliff face, a feat of engineering that somehow still stands two thousand years on. We walk through narrow hand-hewn tunnels and across a massive stone bridge, surrounded throughout by the quiet, rugged beauty of the inland hills. Not many hikes in the world come with a backdrop like this.

      Meals: Breakfast
      Accommodation: 3-4 star hotel
      Hiking: 13 km (8.1 mi)
      Elevation: +400 m (+1,310 ft)

      Roman aqueduct

    • The Turia River has spent millennia carving a deep limestone gorge at Chulilla, and today we walk straight into it. The trail drops to the riverbed where large suspension bridges sway above the flowing water and vertical cliffs rise dramatically on both sides. We follow the canyon path to the Charco Azul, a serene pool where the water stills into a deep, photogenic blue-green. One of the most striking and photographed landscapes in the entire Valencian Community, and for good reason.

      Meals: Breakfast
      Accommodation: 3-4 star hotel
      Hiking: 15 km (9.3 mi)
      Elevation: +350 m (+1,150 ft)

      Chulilla bridge hikers

    • Starting in Alfondeguilla, we climb toward the ruins of Castillo de Castro, an ancient hilltop fortress perched at a natural vantage point with 360-degree views across the Sierra d’Espadà. The descent takes us through dense cork oak forests before we transfer deeper into the mountains to Montanejos, the thermal spa town that will serve as our base for the final stretch of the trip. Medieval ruins at the top, a warm welcome at the end.

      Meals: Breakfast
      Accommodation: 3-4 star hotel in Montanejos
      Hiking: 15 km (9.3 mi)
      Elevation: +550 m (+1,800 ft)

      Castro trail

    • Set deep within the Alto Mijares region, the Bojera trail offers a classic mountain experience well away from the coastal circuits. The route climbs steadily through the resilient flora of the Castellón mountains, with sharp ridge lines opening up views over deep river gorges far below. It’s a wilder, more isolated corner of the Valencian interior, the kind of landscape that rewards the effort of getting there.

      Meals: Breakfast
      Accommodation: 3-4 star hotel in Montanejos
      Hiking: 12 km (7.5 mi)
      Elevation: +500 m (+1,640 ft)

      Alto Mijares region

    • The final full hiking day takes us into the Estrechos of the Mijares River, where the canyon walls close in and the water narrows dramatically between towering stone faces. This circular route stays close to the river throughout, before arriving at the natural thermal pools where the water holds a constant temperature year-round. A fittingly spectacular way to close out the week.

      Meals: Breakfast
      Accommodation: 3-4 star hotel in Montanejos
      Hiking: 11 km (6.8 mi)
      Elevation: +450 m (+1,480 ft)

      Mijares river canyon

    • After breakfast, we transfer back to Valencia, marking the end of this hiking adventure. Airport drop-off is available for those flying back home.

      Meals: Breakfast

    • This Valencia hiking tour is designed for occasional to regular hikers with good fitness who are comfortable spending a full day on varied terrain. Expect hiking between 11 and 15 km (6.8 to 9.3 mi) per day, with daily elevation gains of up to 550 m (1,800 ft). Trails vary from Mediterranean scrub paths and limestone canyon routes to rocky mountain ascents and forested descents. Some sections are steep or uneven, but no technical climbing experience is required.

      If you can comfortably complete a full-day hike on mixed terrain, you’re ready for this trip. Building some aerobic fitness in the weeks before, through regular hiking, walking, or cycling, will make the experience noticeably more enjoyable.
