Hola. I have a few questions about this tour.
I wish to know how to book this trip starting on 01 February 2023. Your system says it’s not available when I go into the page.
Do I have to be in a group of four or can I travel solo? It states that a minimum of four is required for the tour. Or does this refer to the collective number of people required for the tour whether solo or in a group? If this is the case how soon would I know that my trip would depart on the date I’ve planned. The reason I ask is because of flights I have to book from Ireland. Also because I have a limited amount of time to travel. Once my dates are booked I can’t change the start and finish of the tour as I’m restricted with time off from my work.
With regards to internal flights in Ecuador and Peru do you book those flights and we pay you or is that for us to do ourselves?
Many thanks for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for your reply
Saludos
David
