The schedule for cancellation penalties is as follows, subject to change: Up to 30 days before departure – no penalty 30 – 21 days before departure – 10 % penalty 21 – 14 days before departure – 15 % penalty 14- 7 days before departure – 25 % penalty 7 – 4 days before departure – 50 % penalty 4 days to departure date – 100% penalty (non-refundable) If you foresee the chance of having to cancel your trip, we recommend that you purchase trip cancellation insurance. If purchasing an extension, make sure that the insurance covers the dates of the extension.
COMPLAINTS
Please report complaints immediately to the service provider or staff at the location. This way they still have the opportunity to make some corrections when complaints are justified. If the following-up of your complaint is not satisfactory, please send an email to Mauricio travels max. 14 days after the last day of your trip, so that we can do all the possible to find a solution that suits everyone’s needs.
