You may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction, compensation or both.
9. Complaints
If you have a complaint about any of the services included in your holiday, you should inform to our local representative and/or the relevant supplier without delay, who will endeavor to put things right so that we can make sure your complaint is resolved quickly.
Please note: if you do not comply with the requirement to report your complaint while on the tour directly to Meta Travel Peru, we will be deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify it and this may affect your rights in the booking.
10. Additional assistance
If you have difficulties during the holidays and ask us for help, we will provide you with the appropriate assistance, by providing information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance and help you find alternative arrangements and the necessary phone calls/emails. You must pay the costs we incur, if the difficulty is your fault.
11. Passport, visa, immigration and health requirements
Your passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility.
Most countries require a passport to have a certain period of validity, such as 6 months or blank pages.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you process your visa and that you have the correct documentation to allow you enter and exit the country.
We can provide general information on passport and visa requirements for your trip. However, your specific passport and visa requirements and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and should be confirmed with the appropriate embassies and/or consulates.
Neither we nor the supplier(s) accept any responsibility if you are unable to travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. Please note that these requirements may change between booking and departure.
Health requirements and vaccinations are regularly updated in various destinations and may change at any time. We suggest that you consult your doctor before departure at least 6 weeks before departure. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have obtained all necessary vaccinations for your trip and according to your doctor’s recommendations before you travel. We do not accept any responsibility if you are unable to travel as a result of your failure to comply with the necessary health requirements.
We can provide general information about any health formalities required for your trip, but you should consult your own doctor for your specific circumstances.
If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, be sure to check with your doctor before you travel. We cannot give medical advice on fitness to travel if you are planning a trip or if you are pregnant, nor can we give advice on infections or contagious diseases on the spot. You should receive advice on fitness to travel before booking a holiday.
12. Travel insurance
You must purchase suitable travel insurance as a condition of your contract with us. Your insurance must cover the costs of cancellation, early/unexpected reduction of your trip, medical and repatriation expenses, as well as personal accidents and loss/damage/delay of your luggage or personal effects. If you do not purchase travel insurance to protect you and your party against these risks, we will not be liable for any losses you incur that might otherwise have been covered by insurance.
13. Excursions
Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for while on vacation or prior to departure, but which are not included in your itinerary, are not part of the vacation package we provide to you. In this scenario, with respect to any excursion or tour that you book, your contract will be with the excursion or tour operator and not with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator.
All optional tours and/or excursions booked with Meta Travel Peru at the time of booking and included in your itinerary will be included in you contract with us.
14. Data protection
To process your reservation and ensure that your travel arrangements meet your requirements, we will use the information you provide. For more information on how we use and keep your data secure, please see our Privacy Policy.
15. Special requests and reduced mobility
Please inform us of any special requests before confirming your reservation. We will endeavor to forward such requests to the relevant providers of your travel arrangements; however, we cannot guarantee that such requests will be honored.
If you have any specific medical or mobility requirements, you must advise us before booking and confirm the details of your requirements in writing to ensure that the chosen holiday is suitable for you. Please inform us of any medical or mobility requirements by email at: [email protected] A member of our team will contact you to discuss and confirm the suitability of your proposed vacation before booking. In the event that we consider that the chosen destination or supplier cannot meet the necessary requirements for your benefit, we must reserve the right to reject or cancel your reservation and charge the corresponding cancellation fee (if your requirements are informed after having confirmed your reservation). Therefore, to avoid unnecessary charges, it is imperative that you inform us of any specific medical or mobility requirements before confirming your booking with us. We cannot accept any responsibility if you do not inform us of your requirements and it turns out that your holiday is not suitable for your needs or that you have not been able to travel as a result.
16. Brochure / Website and Price Accuracy
We cannot pay any compensation for events that are beyond our control or that of our suppliers.
It is common for facilities and services to be less available, both at your accommodation and at your destination resort, outside of peak season periods. We cannot accept responsibility in these circumstances.
The information in our brochures is correct at the time of printing. However, as this occurs many months before your holiday and despite careful checks, errors or changes may occur after the date of publication. If we become aware of such errors, we will of course endeavor to inform you prior to book. For the most up-to-date information, please visit our website.
In rare cases, errors may occur when entering prices into our reservation system or website. We regret that any contract entered into on the basis of an incorrect price will not be valid. In the unlikely event that such a situation arises, you will be given the option to pay the correct price or cancel for a full refund.
