For a detailed description of the difficulties for the Summit journeys, see our Difficulty Rating, more info see here: www.peru-expeditions.org/difficulty-rating/
With the written confirmation of your registration by us, the booking is binding for you and for us. A deposit of 20 percent of the travel price is due within 14 days on the invoice that you receive at the same time, including the security note. The balance is due no later than 30 days before the start of the trip .
Booked up
If the maximum number of participants is reached for a travel date, this date will be marked as “not available”. This date is therefore fully booked. However, you can be put on the waiting list. Please send us an email to [email protected]
E
With your travel confirmation you will receive a checklist for clothing and equipment. You will also find this list with every trip. You can get well-founded advice from our long-standing partners
F
Please choose your trip based on a self-critical assessment of your own capabilities. Alpine techniques, such as skiing, walking with crampons or climbing, are not easily forgotten. However, nothing is more fleeting than strength and endurance without regular training. A health check by a doctor should also be considered in individual cases before starting a demanding program. Please also note our difficulty ratings.
Flight agency fees
Some of our trips are advertised without a flight so that you can use the cheapest connection for you. We would be happy to arrange a flight for you with your land arrangement. We will inform you of the respective flight price including taxes on request. However, the final fare can only be determined upon receipt of your written travel registration, subject to availability in the reservation systems. Please note that fares are usually cheaper if you book early. The agency fee for a flight reservation is €30 within Europe and €50 for long-distance travel.
In addition to traditional counter check-in, there are many other time-saving ways to check-in, depending on the airline and airport. You can conveniently check in where it suits you best.
We would be happy to let you know what options you have for your flight.
The following check-in options are available:
Online check in: With online check-in, air travelers have the option of checking in via the Internet. You can choose your own seat on the PC and print out the boarding pass on normal paper. If you don’t have a printer available, you can also print out your boarding pass at a check-in machine at the airport or have a mobile boarding pass sent to your cell phone. Online check-in is usually available 24 hours before departure. Baggage is handed in at a baggage drop-off counter.
Check-in machine: Another option is to check in at the machine. The manual entry of the name and the booking number finds the booked flight. You can then select a preferred seat for the flight and specify how much luggage you want to check in. The machine then prints out the boarding card, which you can use to check in your luggage at a special baggage drop-off counter.
Mobile check-in and mobile boarding pass:
Another check-in option is to check in with an internet-enabled cell phone. Like online check-in, this service is available an average of 24 hours before departure. The passenger again has the option of choosing a preferred seat. You then receive the mobile boarding pass, consisting of a 2D barcode and the flight information, by e-mail or SMS link on your cell phone. The 2D barcode in the mobile phone is then read in via a scanner by placing the mobile phone display on top. If there are problems with the mobile boarding pass, you can pick it up at the check-in counter or print it out at the check-in machine.
Check-in the night before
Especially travelers with a lot of luggage and early departures appreciate the possibility of checking in the night before. Because if your luggage is already in good hands, you can start the next day much more relaxed.
This is possible at numerous airports. You can find out more about this on the homepage of the respective departure airport.
After you have made a booking request via our website, we will be happy to provide you with a suitable flight offer at up-to-date tariffs. If you do not agree with the conditions of the flight offer, you can cancel this booking request free of charge.
Airlines
When selecting airlines, we attach great importance to reliability, security and competence. Depending on the departure airport and destination country, we book the flights with different airlines.
Validity of your ticket
Arrival: at the earliest one day before departure and on the day of departure.
Return journey: maximum one day after return.
G
You can find our general terms and conditions here.
If you have booked a trip to the Andean, you will receive arrival information with a short description as well as information on how to get here by public transport with your travel confirmation.
Now if you book a complete package trip, we organize everything for you such as bus tickets, hotels, tickets to tourist sites, etc.

At the end of each day, our trips state which meals are included: (B/L/D) means B = breakfast, L = lunch, D = dinner. Lunch can also be in the form of a packed lunch or picnic. If there is a “–” (F/–/A) in the corresponding position, this meal is not included. Meals on the flights are not specified, this is where the usual on-board catering takes place.
When booking, please let us know if you would like vegetarian/vegan food or if you have any food intolerance. We will forward this to our agency, hut or hotel, but we cannot guarantee that your request will be fulfilled on site.
In principle, our trips can only be carried out if the minimum number of participants specified in the travel description is reached. If this is not the case, we unfortunately have to cancel the trip, but we will inform you about alternative tours or make you a new offer for the trip in question. Even if the number of participants falls below the minimum, we will always endeavor to carry out the trip if this is possible. Please refer to our General Terms and Conditions for the respective deadlines.

Extra cost
Our services are extremely comprehensive and include a wide variety of costs such as permits and national park fees, which you often have to pay extra for. For each trip, we give you an exact list of the services included and possible additional costs. At the same time, however, we would like to point out that there is no claim to completeness. Program changes or exchange rate fluctuations may result in changes.
This is one of the most important questions. Because if the program overwhelms you technically or physically, the mountain guide may have to exclude you for safety reasons and out of consideration for other participants. Pay attention to the classification of our trips according to difficulty and requirements. They are realistic and hard worded. If in doubt, please give us a call. A timely medical check-up is advisable for difficult activities.
