Our bus trips doesnt require physical activity. 

NOT ONLY in your bus trips is it possible to suffer from altitude sickness (also called Soroche), but anytime you are at an altitude greater than 3000 masl, you can be affected. Altitude sickness is due to a lack of oxygen, if you were to experience symptoms of altitude sickness like headaches, nausea, dizziness, and feeling of fatigue. We recommend you walk slowly. Take your time and breathe deeply, eat light meals, and avoid alcoholic drinks, and cigarettes. Try not to work harder to acclimatize to the altitude. No one understands why some people are affected and others are not, age, level of fitness, and strength are not an indication of how well you will do.

It is impossible to join a tour after it has begun. The only time an exception can be made is if there’s been a flight delay. The maximum time of tolerance is one day after the bus has left. If it happens, contact us at our phone numbers or emails as soon as possible, and one of our staff members will gladly assist you. Consider you will be responsible for all costs associated with joining the bus late.

It is possible to leave the tour early if you are sick, or suffer an injury. If this happens, we will try to help you. Our local offices will help you find the right medical care and ensure that someone in the home is aware of the situation. Please, keep in mind that if you leave (due to illness or injury), you are responsible for the additional expenses, and for your arrangements from the moment you decide to leave the tour. The bus ticket is non-refundable.
