Discounts and Promotions

Holding Your Reservation

We will need a credit card or debit card number to confirm your reservation.

For standard tours booked through our website, full payment (100% of the total value of the package) is due at the time of booking.

For customized tours, the reservation is guaranteed with a deposit of 50% of the total value of the package at the time of booking, and the remaining 50% balance is due 2 days before the arrival date in Iquitos, via the credit card on file. Without payment of the balance, the reservation will not be confirmed.

I acknowledge that a credit card dispute is strictly prohibited and is not an option for disputing the validity of any charge in connection with this Agreement. I further agree to indemnify and reimburse Brisa Tropical Adventures promptly for the full authorization amount referenced above in the event I engage in any effort to dispute the credit card used for purchase.

Cancellation Policy

Since we incur costs in arranging your travel, certain cancellation terms apply. Cancellation requests are accepted only via email. There are no penalties for changes to an existing reservation (see “Modifying Your Reservation” below); the terms in this section apply to cancellations. The applicable terms depend on whether you have booked a standard tour or a customized tour.

Standard tours (paid in full at the time of booking)

• Cancellations made within 24 hours of booking will receive a full refund of 100% of the amount paid.
• Cancellations made after the first 24 hours and at least 3 days (72 hours) before the scheduled tour start date will receive a refund of 50% of the amount paid. The remaining 50% retained by Brisa Tropical Adventures will be issued to you as a credit toward a future reservation, valid for 2 years from the original scheduled tour start date, after which it expires. Credits are subject to availability at the time of rebooking.
• Cancellations made fewer than 3 days (72 hours) before the scheduled tour start date will not receive any refund, and all monies paid will be forfeited.

Customized tours (50% deposit at the time of booking; remaining 50% balance due 2 days before arrival in Iquitos)

• Cancellations made within 24 hours of paying the deposit will receive a full refund of the 50% deposit.
• Cancellations made after the first 24 hours: the 50% deposit is non-refundable and will be forfeited. Any remaining balance that has been charged 2 days before arrival is likewise non-refundable.

There is a strict no-show policy enforced by Brisa Tropical Adventures. All no-shows will automatically forfeit all monies paid to Brisa Tropical Adventures, and the remaining balance, if applicable, will be charged to the credit card on file. Under no circumstances will a refund be granted for a no-show.

Brisa Tropical Adventures is not responsible for any incidental expenses or consequential losses that are incurred as a result of canceled bookings out of our control such as, but not limited to, non-refundable plane tickets, sickness, personal injury, family emergency, etc.

Modifying Your Reservation

There are no penalties for changes to an existing reservation. Any changes to this reservation regarding dates or property selection must be requested in writing to contact@brisatropicalodge.com at least 3 days prior to the scheduled start date of the tour. Please note that a change in the length or dates of your reservation may result in a rate change.

Force Majeure

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions, we will not be liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by any event which we, or our service partners, could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. These events can include, but are not limited to: war, threat of war, civil strife, terrorist activity and its consequences or the threat of such activity, riot, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster and adverse weather, sea, ice and river conditions and all similar events outside our or our service partners’ control. We consider a pandemic like COVID-19 a force majeure event.

Complaints & Disputes

If you have a complaint about any of the tour elements or services, you agree to bring it to the attention of the tour leader or other representative of Brisa Tropical Adventures at the time of the event so they can make their best effort to rectify the situation. It is only if/when Brisa Tropical Adventures is made aware of any problem that there will be an opportunity to make any necessary changes to rectify the problem. Failure to complain on the spot will nullify the Client’s ability to claim compensation from Brisa Tropical Adventures. In the event of a dispute, the Parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy by mediation, which shall be conducted by a mediator mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The Parties agree that their respective good faith participation in mediation (or collaborative-style dispute resolution) is a condition precedent to pursuing any other available legal or equitable remedy, including litigation, arbitration, or other dispute resolution process. In the event the Parties are not able to reach a resolution amongst themselves by the mediation/collaborative process, the claim, dispute, or controversy shall be settled by arbitration in the United States, California, before a single arbitrator, as mutually agreed to by the Parties (or if a single arbitrator cannot be agreed upon, then each party shall suggest an arbitrator and apply to the Court for selection of a single arbitrator), and otherwise in accordance with the then-current rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the award rendered in such proceeding shall be binding upon the Parties.

In the event of a dispute with the credit card company in connection to the referenced credit card, the cardholder agrees to indemnify and reimburse Brisa Tropical Adventures promptly for the full authorization amount referenced in the reservation. All refunds, credits, and cancellations are governed solely by the “Cancellation Policy” section above.

Our Published Rates & Surcharges

Brisa Tropical Adventures’ prices are based on current rates of exchange and surcharges at the time of publishing the rates on the website www.brisatropicaladventures.com. Changes in tour rates and other service fees are rare and caused by extraordinary circumstances outside Brisa Tropical Adventures’ control, including government actions, transportation costs, and currency, which may impact, for example, the cost of fuel or airport charges. In the rare event that a tour rate should increase, we will do our best to honor the rate that is published. However, if a surcharge results in an increase of more than 5% of the tour cost, Brisa Tropical Adventures reserves the right to increase the tour cost to take into account such circumstances. If the surcharge results in more than 10% of the tour cost, the Client may cancel the booking within five (5) days of receiving notification of the surcharge by Brisa Tropical Adventures and obtain a full refund.

International Travel

You are responsible for ensuring that you meet foreign entry requirements and that your travel documents, such as passports and visas (transit, business, tourist, and otherwise), are in order and any other foreign entry requirements are met. Brisa Tropical Adventures has no special knowledge regarding foreign entry requirements or travel documents. We urge customers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the relevant governments prior to booking travel to international destinations. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel or if you incur any other loss because you have not complied with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities. You agree to reimburse us in relation to any fines or other losses which we incur as a result of your failure to comply with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities.

Passport and Visa

You must consult the relevant Embassy or Consulate for this information. Requirements may change and you should check for up-to-date information before booking and departure. We accept no liability if you are refused entry onto a flight or into any country due to your failure to carry the correct and adequate passport, visa, or other travel documents required by any airline, authority, or country, including countries you may just be transiting through. This includes all stops made by the aircraft, even if you do not leave the aircraft or airport.

Health

Recommended inoculations for travel may change and you should consult your doctor for current recommendations before you depart. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your trip. It is also your responsibility to ensure you are fit and able to complete the itinerary you choose prior to booking and Brisa Tropical Adventures accepts no responsibility for illness, damage to possessions or health or inability to complete all or part of your booking due to such factors. You agree you have discussed this booking and all services you may participate in with your medical and mental health providers, prior to booking. Your participation in any and all activities related to this booking and during our trip are entirely voluntary and at your own risk.

Documents

Passengers must carry with themselves a passport or travel document depending on their nationality, according to Peruvian law.

Baggage

Baggage transportation is limited to 33 lb (15 kg) per passenger (domestic flight in Peru). For international flights please consult with your travel agent. You are responsible for your own baggage. Small objects such as video or photo cameras, binoculars, bags, umbrellas, etc., are the responsibility of their owners. It is recommended that all baggage you carry is well-sealed and closed and is labeled with personal identification.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is highly advisable for all Clients traveling on a tour organized by Brisa Tropical Adventures. Clients, together with their personal property including baggage, are at all times solely at their own risk. Clients are wholly responsible for arranging their own insurance. A suitable insurance policy should provide adequate coverage for medical expenses arising through illness or accident prior to or during travel and loss of travel monies through cancellation or curtailment of the holiday for insurable reasons. Clients should ensure that there are no exclusion clauses limiting protection for the type of activities in their tour. Clients should satisfy themselves that any travel insurance arranged is what they require and should arrange supplementary insurance if need be.

Brisa Tropical Adventures, its affiliates, owners, officers, agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors purchase transportation, hotel accommodations, restaurant services and other services from various independent suppliers that are not subject to its control. Brisa Tropical Adventures acts only in the capacity of an agent upon the legal conditions that, while exercising every possible precaution, it is not responsible for injury, sickness, damage, loss, additional expenses, accidental delay, or other irregularities which may be caused either through willful or unintended acts or omissions made by the companies or individuals providing or engaged in transportation, accommodation or other services related to the accomplishment of the tour, or through illness, disease or force majeure (as defined in the above section) such as natural disasters, social upheavals or other causes. You expressly understand and agree that neither Brisa Tropical Adventures, nor any associate organization, agent, employee, contractor or subcontractor shall be held liable for any act, default, injury (including death), loss, expense, damage, deviation, delay, curtailment or inconvenience caused to or suffered by any person or their property, howsoever arising, which may occur or be incurred by any organization or person, even though such act, default, injury, loss, expense, damage, deviation, delay, curtailment or inconvenience may have been caused or contributed to: (a) by the act, neglect or default of Brisa Tropical Adventures, its owners, officers, agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors, or of any persons for whose acts it would otherwise be responsible, or (b) defects or failures of any aircraft, vessel, automotive vehicle or other equipment or instrumentality under the control of independent suppliers.
