Our Responsibility for your Arrangements

We have taken all reasonable care to make sure that all the services that make up the arrangements made by Into Peru are provided by efficient and reputable businesses. These businesses should follow the local and national laws and regulations of the country where they are provided. However, please be aware that overseas safety standards may be lower than in the UK.

Travellers Insurance

A travel insurance policy is highly recommended for all clients while travelling. All travel is conducted, and belongings are carried at your own risk. A n insurance policy should adequately cover medical expenses, cancellation or curtailment of trip, loss of baggage and money.

Passport, Visa, Andean Migration Card and Vaccinations

Complaints
