Registration
A deposit of 30% of the total amount of the trip must accompany all applications. The balance of the price of the trip must be paid before the beginning of the trip.
Cancellations
If cancellation occurs:
- More than 45 days before the beginning of the tour: 100 % of the deposit will be reimbursed, less bank fees due to money transfer.
- From 44 to 21 days before the beginning of the tour: 50 % of the deposit will be retained, which correspond to pre-payment of some services (hotels, transport)
- Less than 21 days before departure: 100% of the deposit will be retained.
We can not subscribe to any cancellation insurance; such a contract does not exist in Bolivia. Nevertheless, you can get information with your insurance company.
General conditions:

These include but are not limited to:
- - travelling in mountain terrain, on rivers and in forests and jungle;

- - accidents or illness in remote regions with little or no medical facilities and without means of paid evacuation;

In consideration of the above La Torre Tours declares that as performer or as intermediary between the participant and the entities or persons called to carry out the tour or service described in the itinerary: tour operators, hotels, restaurants, transport or others, shall not be liable for their deficiencies or failure of these entities. This includes failures such as delays, loss or damages to baggage or goods, seat allocation in any kind of transport or hotel rooms, unexpected cancellation of reservations or any other failure of any kind.
La Torre Tours shall not be held responsible for any delay -and its consequences-, loss, injury or damage to any person or property resulting - directly or indirectly - dangers, fire, accident, breakdown in machinery or equipment, breakdown of transport, wars, civil disturbances, quarantine, strikes, riots, thefts, pilferages, epidemics, medical or custom department restrictions or regulations, or any other causes beyond La Torre Tours’ control.

Travellers are advised to seek such insurance arrangements in their home country. The participation in tours or services organized by La Torre Tours takes place on travellers own responsibility and at their own risk. According to the above, the participant shall not formulate protests of any kind against La Torre Tours.
Insurance
We require you to have current medical insurance that includes repatriation in the event of a medical emergency (if you pay for your airplane ticket with a VISA card, you will automatically be covered for this. You are advised to confirm this with your bank in advance). If you prefer that La Torre Tours takes out an insurance policy for you, you need to inform us at least two weeks before your tour. If you do not wish to have any insurance, you are required to inform La Torre Tours, and will be required to sign a document releasing the company from any responsibility.
Responsibilities
Passports and vaccines: La Torre Tours will not assume the individual responsibilities of each of the participants. Participants should comply with the regulations and formalities of the police, customs and health at all time on the trip. Each participant will also take responsibility for obtaining all the documents required by the authorities of the countries visited. La Torre Tours will not be responsible in cases of delay or a participant being unable to present all their documents in good order. Any expense incurred will be the responsibility of the client. All trips interrupted or cut short by the actions of the participant for whatever reason will not be eligible for reimbursement.
Risks
Luggage remains at all times the responsibility of the customer. Do not leave your luggage with the guide or ask him to watch it. He cannot guarantee its safety.
Air Transport
If your trip is changed due to problems with your flights, La Torre Tours cannot be held responsible. Any resulting expenses remain the responsibility of the client.
