13 Important notes: In Bolivia and Peru strikes or road blocks for political or economic reasons can occur repeatedly. They are not directed against tourists but can change your further itinerary. Adverse weather and natural phenomena such as landslides, floods and unpredictable events can also lead to delays, cancellations or changes of your transport connections and thus amending your travel program. Possibly related costs are borne by the client. We expressly point out that you attend the journey on your own responsibility and at your own risk. By booking the journey you accept our general conditions that can be found on our website and relieve our agency from any liability for accidents, illness, loss and/or damage to personal property and unforeseeable events. We recommend you to conclude a comprehensive travel insurance, in particular a health and a luggage insurance. After your consent to a journey we immediately reserve all touristic services (hotels, drivers, guides, etc.). In case of an already fully booked hotel at this time we propose you an alternative. The journey must be confirmed and an advance payment of a 50% must be paid until 42 days before its beginning. As we have to pay many touristic services in advance we can t guarantee the reservations if your payment is late. There are certain touristic services like flights, trips by train, Chalalán, the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu or some hotels for what we need an immediately advance payment in the amount of the services in order to make the reservations. Don t expect European standards, in particular relating to the level of accommodation, the language skills of the guides and the comfort of the means of transport. We reserve to increase the price of the journey because of price changes by the suppliers or exchange rate fluctuations (Dollar/Boliviano or Dollar/Nuevo Sol) if there are more than three months between confirmation and travel. Look to your visa and health regulations in time: EU citizens do not require a visa for Bolivia and Peru for a tourist stay of up to 90 days. However, your passport upon arrival must be valid at least for six months. Consult your family doctor or tropical medicine, in particular regarding the required yellow fever vaccination, possible Hepatitis A and Tetanus vaccinations, tropical diseases and malaria as well as preventive measures against altitude sickness and diarrhea.

14 Travel tips: Bolivia and Peru are in every respect among the most extreme countries in the world. On the one hand this is just their attraction, on the other hand it requires a thorough preparation of your trip. The extremely different climate zones are geographically the most striking characteristic of the Andean countries. The Altiplano and the Sierra are approx. 3,000 to 4,000 meters high, what you have to keep in mind when travelling for example to Lake Titicaca, to the Salt Lake of Uyuni or to Cusco. Consult your doctor if you can travel without any objections. This applies in particular if you plan a trekking tour or a mountaineering in the Andes, because there is increased risk of altitude sickness. We advise you also to protect you with sunscreen, sunglasses and sun hat against increased UV radiation. We point out to you that the lower regions of Bolivia and Peru such as the valleys of the Yungas or the Ceja, the National Park Madidi, the National Park Manu or the lowlands of Santa Cruz in general are area of malaria and other tropical diseases. Therefore we recommend you to protect you continually and especially in the dusk and dawn with insect repellent and long sleeved clothing against mosquito bites. For details about tropical diseases, especially about malaria and malaria prophylaxis please look on the websites of tropical medicine centers. Unfortunately hygiene in Bolivia and Peru often misses out. Therefore we advise you to follow our precautions and neither to drink tap water nor to eat meals on the road to avoid bacterial infections. Take along your personal medication because not all the popular european products are available in Bolivian and Peruvian pharmacies. Although most of Bolivians and Peruvians are very friendly towards tourists, there is a risk of pick pocketing especially in the cities. Nevertheless assaults on tourists are rarely and usually result of negligence. Therefore adhere to our advice. In all major cities you get cash at the ATM with your debit or credit card. Larger amounts can almost always be paid in US dollars. Credit card payment however is usually still not accepted. Official language in Bolivia and Peru is Spanish, also spoken by the Aymara and Quechua population. Without any knowledge of Spanish you shouldn t travel alone as English is only spoken in travel agencies, hotels or at the airport. Internet and telephone are widespread, so there isn t any problem to stay in contact with the home country.

15 The best is if you travel with a case or a travel bag and with a middle sized backpack (30 35 Lt.) as hand luggage. So you can leave your main baggage in the hotel if convenient and do some shorter trips only with the backpack. Use various layers of clothing: During the day also in the Altiplano temperature rises quite high, which is why a light shirt or a blouse is enough. In addition trekking trousers and trekking shoes. During the late afternoon and at night temperatures fall considerably, especially in the winter months May to October (possibly below cero). Therefore always take along with you a sweater or a fleece, a windbreaker, long sleeved underwear, a woolen hat and woolen gloves. For tours to the nature reserve E. Avaroa, to the National Park Sajama, to the Lake Titicaca and trekking or mountaineering you need a sleeping bag (comfort zone minus 5 degrees of centigrade). If you want to borrow a sleeping bag in La Paz or Uyuni we recommend you due to hygienic reasons to take along a sleeping bag of linen. Always take along a flashlight/headlamp and a swimsuit/bathing suit.
