Insurance coverage and physical fitness

The policy covers only individuals aged 14 to 65, without exception. Participants are also required to be in good physical condition for mountain activities, considering the elevation gain and the demands of the trekking that are part of the experience. If you are traveling with minors or adults outside the age range, or with individuals with physical limitations, you must notify us in advance so we can assess alternative arrangements.

Rescheduling policy

Our priority is your safety and enjoyment of the experience. Therefore, if weather conditions include wind gusts exceeding 100 km/h (or situations classified as Wild Night), the activity will be suspended. In any case, no refunds will be issued: you can reschedule within the season or receive a credit for a future trip..
