In the Event of Trek Cancellation by the Client

Please note that the trek deposit of US$150 per person is non-refundable. The deposit is used to reserve space within the group. Once we have made a trek reservation with the government authorities we cannot then change any details of the reservation (your name, passport number or departure date). If you have to cancel your trek booking government authorities will not let us fill your cancelled spaces with other clients, we just have to depart with a smaller less-economic group. Once purchased the trek permits are non-refundable and non-transferable.

(i) Trek cancellation prior to 7pm two days prior to trek departure (after having paid the trek deposit): Loss of trek deposit. All other payments will be refunded in full. Note that if the trek balance is not received prior to 7pm two days before trek departure then the trek will be deemed to have been cancelled and the deposit cannot be returned. Once we have bought the trek permits it should be noted that we cannot then substitute other trekkers in your place if you have to cancel. The Inca Trail trek permit, bus ticket and train ticket will not be returned.
(ii) Trek cancellation between 7pm two days before trek departure and prior to actual trek departure (i.e. once you have paid for the trek in full): The unused  train ticket for Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo and the bus ticket from Machu Picchu down to Aguas Calientes will be returned to you.  If you have rented a sleeping bag we will refund this amount in full.
iii) Once you have started the trek(i.e. once you board the bus in the morning) we can only return your train ticket from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo and your bus ticket from Machu Picchu down to Aguas Calientes. We cannot make any cash refunds. Failure to be able to continue with the trek will be treated as a cancellation. Any costs associated with returning to Cusco or returning to Ollantaytambo and then continuing to Aguas Calientes and then onto Machu Picchu must be met by yourselves. These costs include all transport costs (you, the guide and any friends accompanying you), hotel accommodation and any medical expenses (thankfully this is a very rare event).
In the event of any trek cancellation, Inca Discovery Peru will be happy to cooperate in providing any necessary documentation to enable a legitimate insurance claim.
