YOU ONLY GET TO 

LIVE IT ONCE 

RE 

Way back in ‘62 one guy had a 

dream: to show young travellers the world 

and change their lives in doing so. 55 years later and 

we’ve perfected the secret formula. One of the most 

important things we’ve learnt along the way is to do things 

with passion or not at all. 

Most companies provide good service. But at Contiki, we go 

further than that, making sure that every second is one to 

remember, every trip is one that will change your life and 

alter your perception of the world. That’s what we 

live for and what keeps us up at night. Are you 

ready to become part of the story?

WHAT IS 

CONTIKI 

KNOW-HOW? 

There’s something you can’t deny about 55 years

You can’t compete with that sort of experience, 

that type of skill set, that passion for adventure. 

Contiki has something special – but it’s not 

just magic or fairy dust.

cheat it, you can’t fake it, it’s not superficial, it’s the 

substance behind travelling with No Regrets.

And then of course there’s our Special Stays. We 

don’t like to boast, but we reckon our Peruvian and

just a little bit special.

HOW WE 

TRAVEL 

Canoes, boats, and the odd 4x4, getting 

around isn’t just part of the experience, 

it is the experience. 

We all know 

that half the 

fun of the 

journey is 

getting there, so we make 

sure we do it in style, and 

speed. Think it’s all cramped 

chicken buses and 12-hour 

train journeys? Urr, no. 

Maybe that’s how some roll, 

but not us. 

When you’re not whizzing 

through the skies on our 

included internal flights, 

you’ll find yourself getting 

around by private air-con 

mini coaches, boat rides or 

better still, local means of 

transport. Triciclos, canoes, 

and 4x4s are all part and 

parcel of your Contiki 

experience.

THE NATURE WHISPERER 

María Florencia Soldati, 

Argentina, Trip Manager, 

3 years with Contiki 

“I love to share my passion for 

travel with people from all over 

the world. My Contiki mates 

are young and enthusiastic 

travellers hungry for life and 

new experiences. I can´t ask for 

a better job, I am always ready 

for a new adventure.” 

THE PARTY STARTER 

THE CULTURAL GURU 

Mayra Arboleda, Quito, Ecuador 

Trip Manager, 4 years with Contiki 

“I am very proud of my culture and 

country and through Contiki I can share 

this with all the passionate travellers that 

seek to discover the world. Travelling is 

one of the few things in life that stays 

with you forever. All the new experiences 

open up your eyes and make you better 

understand other people and cultures. 

Travelling helps you grow up, get to know 

yourself better and makes you appreciate 

your background and family. But watch 

out it is addictive!” 

Ismael Pedraza, Mexico 

Trip Manager, 4 years 

with Contiki 

“As a restless traveller, I always 

look for an authentic experience. 

So, I love to share my country 

and it’s history with every person 

that visits, knowing that they are 

getting a local experience. 

Travelling is a way to open your 

eyes and conscience, it makes 

you realize what you have 

and what you can achieve. It 

expands your horizons and it’s 

something that refreshes your life 

every time you do it.” 

STUFF TRIP 

MANAGERS KNOW 

“When in Quito don’t forget to try “espumilla” this 

traditional desert is like a merengue made of fresh 

guava and strawberries. Ladies carry it around 

on trays and looks like ice cream that never melts! 

For only 50 cents!!” 

@mayactiki 

“If you’re in Buenos Aires on a Sunday, don’t miss 

the San Telmo Market. Everyone pours into the 

streets to enjoy hundreds of stalls selling antiques, 

trinkets, art and delicious food and watch 

the tango dancers perform live.”

GIVING YOU MORE 

ME TIME 

Think ultimate freedom, with all 

the free time you could want to 

explore, plus optional experiences 

to make your trip that little bit 

more wonderful. 

Nobody does Latin America quite like 

you, not even us. That’s why every 

single one of our trips has built in ME 

Time, allowing you to explore this 

colourful, fl avoursome and culture-rich continent as 

only you can. ME Time consists of two parts – free 

time and ME Time Optionals – allowing you to put 

your own unique spin on your adventure. Your free 

time could see you hunting down the best street 

food vendors in Mexico City, swimming with the 

sea lions on the Galapagos Islands, or straight up 

chilling on Copacabana Beach. Whatever your 

wanderlust is hunting for, our local Trip 

Managers have all the insight. 

Of course, what’s a travel experience all about, 

if not a little bit of extravagance? You know, 

experiences that still have you smiling as you go 

to sleep at night. That’s what our ME Time 

Optionals are for. Snorkelling with sharks and 

stingrays in Caye Caulker, sunrise hot air 

balloon rides over Teotihuacan, ziplining in 

Cancun, a heli ride over Iguassu Falls, or a chill 

afternoon cruise in Rio, are just a taste of what 

we have in store for you. 

Get a higher perspective

ME TIME 

OPTIONALS 

Important: ME Time optional activities are not included in the price of your trip. They are run by 3rd party operators and on occasions, for some of the activities, travellers may be required to sign a waiver to participate. 

Before you leave, it’s important that you check your insurance includes your participation in adventure activities and be aware that some of our optionals can be physically demanding and may involve some risk.

Doors for days 

Aspiring bloggers or Instagrammers, 

welcome home. Merida is a 

photographers dream, especially if, 

like me, you have a thing for doors. 

Every house, every shop a different 

door colour, and the buildings pretty 

much follow suit. Everything is just a 

perfect shade of pastel, with photo ops 

guaranteed to up your Insta game. 

Foodie delights 

Mexican food is delish – standard. 

But Merida specifically has upped its 

food game of late, recently opening 

up the hipster-esque Mercado 60, an 

open air food market offering up a 

whole range of options. Of course 

you’ve got local Yucatán specialities 

like Cochinita (pork) pibil, but with 

sushi, burgers, Middle Eastern and 

heaps more to pick from, there’s 

something for everyone. Plus, the live 

music gives it a real atmosphere. 

Local wares 

I refuse to leave a new country 

without taking something home to 

remind me of my time there. Let me 

tell you, Merida makes the rule of 

buying only one thing pretty damn 

hard. As the capital of Yucatán, the 

city is a hub for sellers from all over 

the region, so you can pick up the 

most amazing things. Everything from 

bright, colourful fruit and veg, to 

hammocks and panama hats that are 

the real deal, are sold throughout the city. 

Healthy bank balance, see you later.

If you’re as obsessed with food as we are, you’ll know that 

half of the joy of travelling, is tasting your way through a 

country. Food isn’t just a pile of something on your plate, 

it’s an experience. It brings people together, tells a story, 

depicts a culture, and forms the resounding memory of 

your trip. 

That’s what Munch is all about. It’s our food philosophy 

and our commitment to you, that all of your foodie 

adventures, whether included in your price or amazing ME 

Time optional experiences, won’t disappoint. Breakfast is 

included every day, that’s standard. As for included meals, 

we’re talking ‘rocoto rellenos’ lunch in the Amazon (hot 

stuffed peppers), and an Argentinian feast (complete with 

tango show) in Buenos Aires. And when we talk about our 

ME Time Optionals, things get real interesting. Like the 

sound of Argentine steak, cooked your way, whilst taking a 

break from playing polo, or maybe you fancy learning the 

A-Z of coffee surrounded by Guatemalan volcanoes? Our 

foodie options are never ending. 

Mexican food your cuisine of choice? We have good 

news my friends. Brand new for 2018, we are launching 

a Mexico Munch trip, built specifically around all 

things tacos, quesadillas, mole, pork pibil, and more. 

Think flavour, food experiences, and one helluva travel 

adventure. More info on p.23.

delicious food experiences.

all, for food. Sharing a border with the 

Unites States to the north and Belize 

& Guatemala to the south, its food is 

as diverse as its terrain. Designated 

by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural 

Heritage of Humanity in 2010, Mexico 

was the fi rst country to attain this status 

for its national cuisine; a rich blend 

of indigenous and Spanish infl uence. 

Savour ceviche, sip tequila, shop with 

an expert in a local market and see how 

regional foods are prepared. Throw 

out any preconceived notions of what 

Mexican food is all about & get ready 

to experience authentic dishes on our 

Mexico Munch trips. Taste buds blown!

Contiki is part of The Travel Corporation family of brands. What does that mean? In short, it 

means that we know what we’re doing. Every year we take over 2 million travellers to 70 different 

countries across 30 of our award-winning travel brands. Our company isn’t run by a faceless board 

of executives but instead by a family who care deeply about the wellbeing of their travellers 

and providing incredible experiences and value. We are financially secure, experienced beyond belief and 

we won’t tie you down with a strict cancellation policy in case your plans change. 

Visit TTC.COM 


PERKS 

If you’ve travelled with us before, you’re eligible for 5% off 

your next trip. If you decide a second Contiki isn’t for you and 

you’d prefer a luxury cruise down the River Seine on one of our 

Uniworld boats, or to stay in one of our 5-star Red Carnation 

Hotels, we won’t be offended (well maybe just a little). You can 

simply transfer your 5% discount to any of our other 30 travel 

brands. Same can be said for your deposit. Feel free to put your 

trip deposit towards a trip with one of our sister brands if your 

plans change or you blow the candles out on your 36th birthday 

cake before you got the chance to take your Contiki trip.

TRIP 

REGISTRATION 

Ensuring that your trip runs smoothly is a pretty big 

deal to us. Registering your details before your trip 

ensures we can get in touch with you both prior to your 

adventure and during it, which basically = a hassle free 

trip for you. Plus in the unlikely event that something 

happens on your trip, we’ll have all 

your essential details so we can get in 

touch with you.

CHANGE YOUR TRIP 

FOR FREE 

If you want to change your chosen trip or 

departure just drop us a line, let us know which 

trip or departure you’d like and if there’s space, 

we’ll do the rest for zero cost.

THE 

WORLD’S GREATEST 

CHANGE POLICY 

It’s a big title but damn right we’re claiming it, and 

for good reason. When booking with us we’re all 

about the no-strings-attached approach. 

Plans can change, as can minds, so we 

created Freedom Guarantee to give you 

ultimate flexibility. It’s made up of two 

parts: you can change your trip for free, or use 

FlexDeposit to save your paid deposit for when 

you’re ready to use it. 

PAR T 2 

FLEXDEPOSIT 

FlexDeposit is designed to make it easier to travel at a time that 

works for you. The FlexDeposit guarantee is given for free once 

you have paid your deposit and works as credit towards your next 

adventure*; so if your plans change, your deposit isn’t lost – it’s 

simply transferred instead. FlexDeposit is available until you turn 

36 (the maximum age you can travel on a Contiki). After that, it 

can be used with one of our sister Travel Corporation brands or, 

if you can’t travel yourself, it can also be gifted to someone else 

within five years of the original booking date. 

* Not combinable with Early Payment Discounts or Last Minute 

Deals within 120 days of original travel date 


FROM 

ME TO WE 

3 DAYS • 1 COUNTRY • ECO-LODGE ACCOMMODATION 

Keen to volunteer during your 

trip? Split off from your Lava 

Line or Ecuador & Galapagos 

Island Hopper routes and join 

ME to WE for a one-of-a-kind, 

unforgettable experience, 

venturing deep into Ecuador’s 

Amazon rainforest. 

Visit a community that works with 

our partner, WE Charity, a TreadRight 

supported charity, connect with locals, 

and experience their culture firsthand 

by participating on a sustainable 

development project alongside 

local families. 

ITINERARY: 

DAY 2 (of your trip): Quito to Minga Lodge. 

We’ll be meeting up with the ME to We team in Los 

Rios, before travelling by boat down the Napo River. 

Arriving at Minga Lodge, we’ll then take part in a trip 

orientation, and after dinner take a night walk through 

the Amazonian jungle. (B,D) 

DAY 3: Minga Lodge. 

After meeting and getting to know the local 

community and their current priorities, we’ll spend 

most of our day volunteering on a build for a current 

local infrastructure project. Later on, we’ll experience 

a Shamanic Ceremony and learn the ins and outs of 

indigenous weapons from a local hunter. (B,L,D) 

DAY 4: Minga Lodge to Banos. Waking up early, 

we’ll head out before breakfast to explore the 

rainforest by daylight, keeping our eyes peeled for 

toucans, long-tailed Potoos, as well as the myriad of 

flora and fauna. It’s then back onto the boat as we 

journey back to Los Rios, where you’ll continue on to 

Banos for the rest of your Contikit adventure. 

You’ll be staying in the 

ridiculously beautiful Minga 

Lodge, a 300 hectare private 

reserve on the edge of the 

Napo River. Think jungle cabins 

with added organic flair, 

including hot water and en suite 

washrooms. Oh, did we mention 

this place is only accessible by 

boat, specifically a motorized 

canoe ride down the Amazon 

river. Eco living goals or what? 


CONTIKI 

CARES 

Powered by TREADRIGHT 

As well as spending time with 

local community members 

to learn more about life in 

the Amazon, you’ll spend 

half a day volunteering for 

a sustainable infrastructure 

project. You’ll also get to 

experience a traditional 

cleansing ceremony and 

receive a blessing from a 

local Shaman, and take part 

in morning and evening 

rainforest treks with an 

expert jungle guide. 

ARTISANAL 

PERUVIAN WEAVING 

The Centro de Textiles Tradicionales 

del Cusco aims to preserve Peruvian 

weaving traditions. Funding from the 

TreadRight Heritage Initiative grant is 

being used to complete construction of a 

traditional weaver’s home at the Chinchero 

Weaver’s Centre, which will then open 

its doors to locals and visitors alike, to 

educate about traditional weaving 

techniques and promote the 

sale of textiles. 

Contiki Cares, advised by our older wiser sister Treadright, is 

our mission to protect and preserve the places we go to and 

the people we meet, so that the generations who follow us 

can see the world with the same wide-eyed wonder as we do. 

It’s our dedication to treading lightly, acting with respect and 

recognising when to speak for the planet when it can’t speak for 

itself. Contiki is proud to be using 100% recyclied LEIPA paper 

for the body of our brochures. By doing so, we proudly save 

34,000 trees per year. 


HOW WILL YOU DO

that this life-changing voyage is written on. 

4DAY

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO 

ESSENTIAL BOOKING REQUIREMENTS 

SEASONS 

The Inca Trail is open all year (apart 

from February when it’s closed for 

maintenance), with April to November 

being peak season. 

CAMPSITES 

Campsites are subject to change 

according to the designation of the 

governmental institution (Ministerio De 

Cultura) that regulates the use of the 

Inca Trail. 

Note: This applies to the 4-day trek only. 

Daily distances for the 4-day trek: 

Day 1: 9.6 mi, Day 2: 6.4 mi, 

Day 3: 7.4 mi, Day 4: 3.4 mi 

BOOK EARLY 

To ensure you get your spot, we advise 

booking at least three months before 

travelling between Oct and Apr and 6 

months before travelling in May to Sept, 

although it is at times possible to get 

permits outside these timelines. Please 

note that the Trail is closed in February 

for maintenance. 

When you book your trip (as early in 

advance as possible) it’s essential that you 

let us know the following details: full name 

(as appears on passport), nationality, date 

of birth and gender. What else? It’s also 

important that the passport information 

that you submit with your application is 

exactly the same as the passport you will 

use to travel to Latin America and it must 

have six months validity at time of travel. 

You will also need your passport to enter 

onto the Trail. Note: If your information 

changes it can result in a penalty and 

cancellation of admission to the Trail. 

No refunds will be given. Book early! The 

Peruvian Government closely controls 

the number of travellers on the Trail, with 

only 500 permits available each day. Inca 

Trail permits are non-refundable and 

non-transferable so it’s essential that you 

let us know your correct passport details at 

the time of booking so we can process your 

application quickly. (Contiki will process 

your application on your behalf within three 

days of booking but we cannot guarantee 

permit availability.)

Space to trek the iconic Inca Trail is in 

high demand, with a limited number of

itinerary, where the days that we take the 

trek may vary from the itinerary. If we need 

to alternate the itinerary to accommodate, 

rest assured that all destinations as specified 

in the itinerary will be visited as part of the 

8-day Ultimate Inca trip, but the 4-day hike 

may be on different days.

INCLUDED FLIGHTS

included as part of the price. As detailed within our 

Booking Conditions (p.79) under ‘General’, we rely on 

international conventions regarding air travel and other 

transportation as specified. Through enrolment and 

payment for your trip you acknowledge and accept such. 

Individual electronic tickets may not be issued to you prior 

to travel, due to the group nature of the air/flight booking. 

In such circumstances you acknowledge that by receipt

size to explore with each region & get amongst it all!. 

TRIPS WITHIN TRIPS 

You may notice on some of our trips that some groups 

join and leave at different stages. That’s because we 

offer shorter trips within a larger itinerary, giving greater 

choice & flexibility so our travellers can choose when they 

start their trip and how long they travel for. For the trips 

that allow you this extra flexibility see contiki.com. 

CONTIKI GLOSSARY 

• Visit - Your trip includes a stop and you’ll get the 

opportunity to visit a specific site. 

• See/View - You will drive/pass by the site so that you 

can see it. 

• Sightseeing tour - A guided tour of a city or site. 

• Orientation tour - Places of interest are pointed out, 

allowing you to go and explore them in your own time. 

HOW MUCH MONEY DO I NEED? 

You will need to ensure you allow enough money to cover 

lunches & dinners not included in the trip price, souvenirs, 

shopping, drinks, ME Time optionals, entrance fees to 

some attractions & evening entertainment. 

When travelling within Latin America, you’ll find that 

you’ll often be using local currency, particularly in remote 

areas. The local currencies are the Nuevo Sol (Peru), 

Peso (Argentina), Real (Brazil), US$ (Ecuador), Colón 

(Costa Rica), Quetzal (Guatemala), Belize Dollar (Belize), 

Boliviano (Bolivia) & Peso (Chile). 

The countries we visit rely largely on cash as opposed 

to credit cards or travellers cheques. In the larger cities 

you’ll find that established stores will accept credit cards. 

VISA is the most readily accepted, but stores normally 

charge a surcharge. Local market stalls will operate on a 

cash only basis. 

Local currency is available through cash (ATM) machines 

however you shouldn’t depend solely on a credit/debit 

card for cash as they are not accepted in all areas & ATM 

maintenance is often neglected. ATMs are available in 

Lima, Buenos Aires, Cusco, Quito, Guayaquil, San José, La 

Paz, Mexico City & Guatemala City Airports. 

We recommend that you carry cash in small 

denominations of both US$ & local currency and have 

more than one credit card. Please note that travellers 

cheques are generally only accepted in big cities at money 

exchanges or banks. USD is preferred in Argentina & 

should be brought with you into the country as it is not 

available through cash machines (ATM). 

HOW MUCH LUGGAGE CAN I BRING? 

Baggage is restricted to only one reasonably sized 

backpack/suitcase & one carry-on bag & luggage policies 

are strictly enforced. There are some things to consider 

when packing for a Contiki Latin America Trip, including 

leaving space for on trip purchases: 

• Due to the large number of flights on Contiki Latin 

America trips, your luggage needs to meet the weight & 

restrictions imposed by airlines. These limits are imposed 

by the airlines, not by Contiki. Contiki is not responsible 

for any costs incurred by overweight luggage. Please 

refer to contiki.com/luggage for more info. 

• You are responsible for carrying your own luggage. 

At times this will be in hotels without elevators (as is 

common in the region) or on various forms of transport. 

• At hotels without elevators there may be porters but 

this is not guaranteed. 

• We recommend small hand luggage for the Galapagos 

– Larger luggage can be stored at the Guayaquil hotel 

to be retrieved on return. 

Please keep your luggage to a maximum suitcase size 

of 73cm x 50cm x 25cm (29” x 20” x 10”) & maximum 

weight of 20kg (44lbs), plus one small handbag / daypack 

that can be used as an overnight bag for Machu Picchu 

Pueblo (see below). 

Important: Every Contiki trip to Peru includes a train 

journey round-trip to Machu Picchu Pueblo where we 

overnight. The train operators, have strict baggage 

allowances. You are allowed to carry as hand luggage 

a day pack/backpack with a weight of no more 

than 5kg/11lb & with a maximum size of 62 linear 

inches/157cm (length + height + width). Perurail will 

charge for excess baggage. A daypack/backpack of 

approx 26L capacity is suggested. Contiki will store your 

main luggage at our Cusco hotel during this time. 

For the new Ultimate Inca 4 day trek, a small day bag 

is recommended for the day hikes, with travelers being 

provided with an additional duffle bag for overnight 

essentials. This duffel will be carried by our porters. Contiki 

will store your main luggage at the Cusco hotel during 

this time. Visit contiki.com/ultimate-inca for a full packing 

list. Note: Travellers can rent sleeping bags for the 4 day 

trek in Cusco. 

Baggage is carried at the owner’s risk & baggage 

insurance is strongly recommended. Luggage is not 

guaranteed or included in the cost of your trip & Contiki 

reserves the right to refuse to accept over sized baggage 

on your trip. 

Note: Contiki is not responsible for any fees incurred as a 

result of overweight luggage.

ACCEPTANCE OF RISK 

It’s important that you acknowledge that at times 

travelling on a Contiki Latin America trip may be more 

adventurous & presents greater challenges than your 

normal daily life. The civil infrastructure, medical facilities, 

transportation, telecommunications & accommodation 

standards may not be what you are used to. Cleanliness & 

hygiene standards also vary. As such there is some degree 

of personal risk inherent in travelling Latin America & as a 

Contiki traveller you accept this. 

BROCHURE AUTHENTICITY 

We have put a great deal of effort into producing this 

brochure. The information given & literature produced 

by Contiki has been compiled with care & is published 

in good faith. Sometimes, because of circumstances 

outside our control, we have to alter some activities due 

to seasonal closing or repairs to buildings, etc., especially 

early or late in the season. If this happens, alternatives 

will be arranged. 

DO I NEED VACCINATIONS? 

At the time this brochure went to press (May, 2017) the 

following immunisations are recommended for travellers 

in Latin America by the CDC (The Centre for Disease 

Control): 

Travellers should be up to date with their routine 

vaccinations: Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR) Diphtheria/ 

Pertussis/Tetanus (DPT), Poliovirus etc. 

Recommended for Argentina, Bolivia, Belize, Brazil, 

Guatemala & Peru: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid & 

Rabies. Malaria & Yellow Fever are also an issue in Puerto 

Maldonado, Iquitos, Iguassu Falls. You should consult 

your local doctor or travel agent on what vaccinations 

&/or preventative medicines would be required. Many 

countries such as Costa Rica and Bolivia require a yellow 

fever vaccination if you are travelling from a country 

where yellow fever exists. Please be sure to check the 

requirements for each country Don’t forget to bring with 

you any medication that you may require en route such 

as antihistamines, antibiotics, etc 

DO I NEED A PASSPORT OR VISA? 

Depending on your nationality, you may require visas to 

enter certain countries included in your Latin America trip. 

You are fully responsible for obtaining all necessary 

visas PRIOR to the departure of your trip. Any costs 

whatsoever regarding obtaining, replacing or changing 

visas whilst on your trip (including accommodation, 

meals, flights & transfers incurred due to associated 

delays) are at your own expense. 

Contiki is not legally permitted to knowingly allow 

anybody who does not have a valid visa to join a trip. Visa 

& other entry & exit conditions (such as currency, arrival/ 

departure taxes, customs & quarantine regulations) 

change regularly. Visit contiki.com/visas for more 

information. Alternatively, consult your travel agent or 

visit your local embassy to determine which visas you 

require. 

Your passport must have at least six months validity at 

time of travel. Local immigration authorities may deny 

entry & deport people who do not meet this requirement, 

even if they intend on staying only for a short period. 

Important to consider: 

1. Visas can take up to six weeks & a fee is normally 

charged. 

2. Failure to obtain all necessary visas could cause you 

to miss part of your trip & will result in you incurring 

considerable expense & inconvenience. 

3. Contiki is not responsible for any costs incurred as a 

result of you failing to obtain all necessary visas before 

the departure of your trip. 

4. It is better to apply for all visas through your travel 

agent before you leave home. 

5. It is very important that the entry & exit dates are 

correct on the visa. Your travel agent will contact 

Contiki for full details. 

6. You will need a machine-readable passport. 

NO COMPULSORY TIPPING - REWARD 

ONLY EXCELLENCE! 

Every country in the world has different tipping customs & 

in Latin America, within service industries, tipping is 

common practice. Tipping is totally optional & only given 

if you feel the service has exceeded your expectations. If 

you think your Contiki Team have done an exceptional 

job then you may wish to tip them. 

This is entirely discretionary – it’s completely up to you. 

No compulsory tipping – reward only excellence! 

WILL I GET MORE INFORMATION? 

Upon receipt of final payment, your trip documentation 

will be released 21 days prior to your departure. You’ll 

receive a comprehensive day-by-day itinerary including 

full details & costs of all optional activities available on 

your trip. Your free Contiki document wallet* & luggage 

tag will be sent to you with your travel documents. The 

wallet is a safe place for your tickets & passport. 

* Contiki reserves the right to substitute an alternative 

travel accessory for the Contiki document wallet.

LATIN AMERICA 2017-19 79 

The following Booking Conditions, have to the extent possible, taken account of 

the European Community Package Travel Directive. Legal interpretation on 

specific clauses of this directive may vary between European Community 

member states. Contiki accept that the legal interpretation of the member state 

where the booking is made will prevail over the following Booking Conditions 

where the Package Travel Directive have been adopted into law. 

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES 

1. YOUR HOLIDAY RESERVATION 

On receipt of your deposit, subject to availability and at our discretion, Contiki will 

reserve your place on your selected holiday. A contract is made between you and 

Contiki Holidays Limited (Registered in Guernsey No. 50681 (Contiki)) only upon 

your booking being confirmed and accepted by us and our communication 

thereof to you or your travel agent. 

2. YOUR FINANCIAL PROTECTION 

Contiki are a member of ABTA and hold ATOL Number 10144 issued by the 

Civil Aviation Authority, which provide for your protection in the event of our 

insolvency. Only bookings from countries subject to the EC Package Travel 

Directive will receive financial protection from ABTA & CAA. Many of the flights 

and flight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are financially protected by the 

ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel 

services listed in this brochure. Please ask us to confirm what protection may 

apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking 

will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts 

of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. Please see 

our booking conditions for information, or for more information about financial 

protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificate 

When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you 

will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where 

you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things 

go wrong. We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide 

you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). 

In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons 

of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services 

you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree 

to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform 

those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you 

under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree 

that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, 

in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or 

your credit card issuer where applicable). If we, or the suppliers identified on 

your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable 

alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of 

insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or 

confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for 

such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims 

which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of 

the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit 

card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be 

re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed 

under the ATOL scheme. 

Any monies paid to us for non-licensable products (accommodation and 

packages which do not include flight elements) are protected by means of 

a bond held by us with ABTA. This means that if, in the unlikely event of our 

insolvency, the accommodation or package cannot be provided, the client will 

receive their money back or, if their stay has started, arrangements will be made 

for them to be able to continue as planned. 

3. PRICE GUARANTEE 

Prices in this brochure are based on costs, taxes (including VAT/ sales taxes), 

levies & exchange rates as at 20th April, 2017. Should these costs change, it may 

be necessary to make a surcharge on the price of your holiday. Should the total 

trip price increase by more than 10% you will have the right to cancel within 7 

days of notification without penalty. No surcharge in respect of cost or currency 

fluctuations will be made once payment of the deposit for your land trip has been 

received. This guarantee excludes fuel surcharges & does not apply to any taxes, 

charges or levies imposed by any government or their agencies. In exchange for 

these guarantees, no refund will be made if costs are reduced. 

4. IF WE CANCEL OR CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY 

4.1 Contiki reserves the right to change or cancel your booking in accordance 

with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. 

4.2 Should change or cancellation prove necessary we will give you reasonable 

notice thereof, in the circumstances, and where available, offer you a comparable 

alternative. Where cancellation is necessary, a minimum period of 45 days notice 

will be given by us unless the circumstances leading to the cancellation were 

beyond our reasonable control. 

4.3 If an alternative is not available or acceptable you will be entitled to either a 

full refund of monies paid by you to us or transfer to another Contiki holiday 

without payment of any transfer fee. 

4.4 If the change or cancellation is due to force majeure (i.e. circumstances like 

political unrest, war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, closure of airports or ports, 

industrial disputes, terrorist activity, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, epidemic 

or health risk, Acts of God, adverse weather conditions or other similar events 

beyond Contiki’s control) we will give a full refund of any monies paid to us less 

reasonable expenses incurred by us in respect of your booking. 

4.5 Contiki is not responsible for the cost of any other travel arrange-ments 

affected due to cancellation or the rescheduling of any holiday. 

5. HOLIDAY DETAILS AND CONDITIONS 

5.1 The information in our brochure is correct to the best of our knowledge at the 

time of going to print (May, 2017) but we cannot guarantee that any item or 

amenity mentioned will be available especially where we have no direct control 

over it. 

5.2 Contiki will do their best, at their discretion, to select accommodation, 

sightseeing trips and transportation to give you good value for money. 

5.3 Contiki constantly strives to improve trip itineraries and features. If such 

improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control 

make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute 

hotels. Contiki is not responsible for any other travel arrangements affected due to 

our cancellations. 

5.4 We reserve the right to alter or substitute the type, size of vehicle and/ 

or the style of transport mentioned in the brochure, resulting in occasionally 

having to utilise transport without some of the features promoted including WiFi 

& power points. 

5.5 Complimentary WiFi service is available in many Contiki guestrooms and/ 

or the public areas of most properties. In many itineraries there is paid WiFi 

on-board the coaches. The WiFi on the coaches uses the cellular phone network 

and as a result the connection will be slower than standard broadband and at 

times may not be available. In some countries and on some coaches this service 

will not be available. 

6. LIABILITY 

6.1 Your travel agent shall, on the receipt of any monies, hold such monies for 

you until the booking is confirmed at which time those monies shall be remitted 

promptly by your travel agent to us. All such monies received by us will be 

deposited as required by law. Any money paid to a travel agent where land 

arrangements and flights are booked together is held by the travel agent on 

behalf of Contiki at all times. 

6.2 We will be entitled to keep for our account any interest earned on such 

monies. 

6.3 All monies paid by you to us through your travel agent or otherwise, whether 

in respect of the deposit or full payment, may be disbursed by us as and when we 

see fit, in respect of the services to be provided and/or fees payable under your 

selected holiday. The payment of a deposit or any other monies in respect of 

your holiday shall be deemed to be an authorisation for disbursement thereof 

as aforesaid.

and expenses incurred by us in the terms of the schedule set out hereunder. This 

is expressed as a percentage of the holiday price and is calculated as follows: 

PERIOD OF NOTICE 

CANCELLATION FEE 

Over 45 days notice: ...............................................................Deposit is forfeited 

45-22 days: ..................................................................................25% of trip fare 

21-8 days: ....................................................................................50% of trip fare 

7-1 days: ......................................................................................75% of trip fare 

Day of departure: .......................................................................100% of trip fare 

NB: Please note, Contiki’s cancellation policy is different in Latin America due 

to internal flight ticketing timeframes & ground transportation confirmations. 

These must be booked well in advance in order to secure high quality services 

that adhere to our strict safety standards. Where the percentage cancellation 

fee is less than the trip deposit, the cancellation fee will equal loss of deposit. 

If the reason for cancellation falls within the terms of any vacation insurance 

policy which you hold, then any such charges may, subject to the terms of your 

insurance policy, be refunded to you by the insurance company. 

All cancellation policies valid as at 12th May, 2017 and are subject to change. 

Final policy will be confirmed at the time of booking. 

3.4 Any cancellation of additional services within 14 days from date of service, 

such as pre & post accommodation & transfers, will incur a 100% cancellation 

fee. For cancellation of additional services outside of 14 days from date of service, 

please refer to the above cancellation policy. 

3.5 These cancellation fees are in addition to any cancellation fees that may be 

levied by your travel agent. All cancellation policies valid as at 17th February, 

2017 and are subject to change. Final policy will be confirmed at the time of 

booking. 

4. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING 

4.1 If after your booking has been confirmed, you wish to change to an alternate 

departure date you may do so subject to availability & provided the new holiday 

date is also in this brochure. 

4.2 A fee of €25 per person will be charged for any revision or alteration made to 

a reservation after the booking is confirmed, unless the change increases the 

value of the booking. A change of booking within 45 days of departure will be 

treated as a cancellation & normal cancellation fees will apply (as detailed in 

section 3) except when the change is to an earlier departure date of equivalent or 

greater value, in which case a €25 per person amendment fee will be charged in 

addition to any amendment fees imposed due to internal flights/local ferries. 

4.3 Transfer of the package to another traveller is allowed, however both the 

original booker and transferee are liable for the payment of any outstanding 

monies. This may also include any service charges/amendment fees levied on 

Contiki by 3rd party contractors. 

5. HOLIDAY DETAILS & CONDITIONS 

5.1 Please read the brochure carefully for those items included in the price. No 

allowance or refund can be made for meals, accommodation, excursions, etc. 

that you elect not to take, or when museums, shops, etc are closed. Hotel

implied by reference to any other writing, advertisement or conversation. 

This contract may only be varied in writing by a duly authorised officer or director 

of Contiki. 

1.2 Your contract is with us as the trip operating company. At any time & at our 

complete discretion we may nominate to you in writing any other company or 

person to have the benefit of some or all of those provisions of this contract, 

which we may then specify, as if you had agreed the provisions concerned 

directly with that company or person in the first place as well as agreeing them 

with us. We may at our complete discretion assign all or any rights & liabilities 

arising under or by virtue of this or any other contract with you. 

1.3 Transportation companies, airlines etc. are not to be held responsible for any 

act, omission or event during the time passengers are not on board planes, 

transportation or conveyances. We rely on international conventions, national & 

international law, which may apply to the services provided by us, our suppliers or 

agents with respect to any claim of any nature brought by you against us as a 

result of the provision of those services. International conventions which apply 

may include: Warsaw Convention 1929, (as amended by Hague Protocol & 

Montreal Protocol) in relation to air travel, or Montreal Convention; the Berne 

Convention for rail travel; Athens Convention 1974 for carriage by sea; the Geneva 

Convention for carriage by road & the Paris Convention 1962 for Hotels. We are to 

be regarded as having all benefit of these conventions on limiting our liability in 

relation to any claim for death, injury, loss, damage & delay to passengers & 

luggage. Enrolment in & payment for a trip shall constitute agreement & 

acceptance by the passenger of the terms & conditions set forth in this brochure 

which cannot be varied except in writing by an officer of the Company.

All bookings with carriers, hoteliers & other service providers are subject to the 

terms & conditions & limitations of liability imposed by those carriers, hoteliers, & 

other service providers. Please note that some of these limit or exclude liability in 

respect of death, personal injury, delay & loss or damage to baggage. Whilst we 

cannot accept any responsibility for any loss as a result of such actions or as a 

result of any act or omission of any such third-parties, we will give every 

reasonable assistance in helping to resolve any reasonable dispute. Please also

2. ARBITRATION 

Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be 

amicably settled, may be referred to arbitration, if the customer so wishes, under a 

special scheme arranged by the Association of British Travel Agents, & 

administered independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme 

provides for a simple & inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with 

restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. Full details will be provided 

on request or can be obtained from the ABTA website (www.abta.com). The 

scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. 

There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking form. Neither does it apply to claims, 

which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The 

scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of 

minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can 

award per person in respect of this element. The application for arbitration & 

Statement of Claim must be received by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators within 

eighteen months of the date of return from the holiday. Outside this time limit 

arbitration under the Scheme may still be available if the company agrees, but the 

ABTA code does not require such agreement.
