• It is the passenger’s responsibility to evaluate their health condition and physical fitness before booking, ensuring it is compatible with the level of difficulty of the excursion or activity.

Great Chile will not be responsible for additional expenses, loss of services, travel modifications, or interruptions caused by circumstances beyond its control, such as adverse weather conditions, natural events, delays or cancellations of air, sea, or land transport, strikes, social unrest, decisions of authorities, operational failures of third parties, or other force majeure events.

Furthermore, Great Chile is not responsible for costs incurred by the passenger if, due to personal reasons, medical issues, accidents, or any other circumstance unrelated to the company, the passenger must abandon the program before completion or requires assistance, rescue, or evacuation during the trip.

For such situations, Great Chile strongly recommends purchasing travel insurance that covers cancellations, trip interruption, medical expenses, evacuation, repatriation, and other contingencies related to tourism activities.

In the event of cancellations due to safety reasons or force majeure, the activity may be:

The client acknowledges that many destinations offered by Great Chile are remote natural areas where weather, operational, or safety conditions may change unexpectedly. In such cases, itineraries may be modified by operators to ensure passenger safety without generating additional compensation.
