LATIN AMERICA

WELCOME

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our 2026/2027 Latin America Brochure, your invitation to explore one of the most vibrant, diverse, and captivating regions on Earth.

From the snow-capped peaks of the Andes to the lush rainforests teeming with life, from ancient civilisations to colourful modern cities, Latin America is a destination that stirs the soul and awakens a true sense of adventure.

Within these pages, you’ll find tours created to inspire connection and curiosity, each designed to bring you closer to the heart of the region’s culture, landscapes, and people. Our brand-new Grand Impressions of Mexico (page 38) offers an authentic insight into Mexico’s rich heritage, featuring meaningful encounters with the Zapotec people in the Sierra Norte Mountains, a private tequila tasting, and, on select departures, the chance to experience the incredible Day of the Dead celebrations.

We’re also excited to present our Galapagos Cruise & Machu Picchu tour (page 44) – a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that blends the extraordinary wildlife of the Galapagos Islands with the timeless wonder of Peru’s Machu Picchu.

At Wendy Wu Tours, it’s a privilege to share Latin America’s energy, history, and spirit with travellers from across the globe. Every journey we craft is designed with care and passion, ensuring you experience the very essence of each destination. Whether you dream of tracing the footsteps of the Incas, feeling the rhythm of Rio, celebrating Día de Muertos in Mexico, or standing in awe of Antarctica’s untouched beauty, your next great adventure awaits.

“The tour was amazing, I am still trying to get my head round all the wonderful experiences that we did. Visiting Machu Picchu was on my bucket list for 30 years but I was blown away by all the other things the trip included. The train journey through the mountains, Iguaçu Falls and going on a speedboat, Argentinian cattle ranch and riding a horse, walking llamas, Rio…it was all bucket list destinations with so many more experiences thrown in. I’m still in awe at everything we did and just want to tell everyone to do it!”

Costa Rica’s capital has a tropical wet and dry climate. While temperatures vary little year-round, sticking at around 28° to 30° on average, there are marked wet and dry seasons with the wettest months being September and October.

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Argentina’s capital boasts a temperate climate with four distinct seasons, although weather can be variable thanks to the city’s location on the Pampas. Spring and autumn here are mild, summers hot and humid while winter sees mild days and cold nights.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In Rio, coastal breezes moderate the temperature which in the hot and humid summers average 30°, and in the warm, sunny winters average 25°. There are sustained periods of often heavy rain between December and March.

San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

With its high desert climate, San Pedro is dry and mild year-round, with very little rainfall. While during the day temperatures stick at 25-30° in the summer and 18-25° in the winter, night-time temperatures drop routinely to 0° or lower.

Cusco, Peru

Cusco is generally dry and temperate with two distinct seasons – winter, which is May to September, and summer, from October to April. The winter months see plenty of sunshine with occasional night-time freezes while summer is warm and wet.

Cartagena, Colombia

With a wet and dry tropical climate, Cartagena tends to be humid, hot and windy. There is a rainy season between May and November, with the average highest rainfall in October. Temperatures stay around 30° (on average) year-round.

Puerto Natales, Chile

Puerto Natales has an oceanic climate which means cool, short summers and chilly, wet winters. It also holds the title of place with the most rainy days in Chile! Expect temperatures around 18° in high summer and 7° in high winter.

Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

While the Galapagos Islands are on the Equator, their isolated position in the Pacific means their climate is not tropical. Temperatures vary little from between 21° and 30° but there is a warm season, typically from December to June and a dry season, between July to November.

Your questions answered

A selection of our most frequently asked questions.

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

Q. How soon after making our booking will we receive confirmation?

A. Once we have received your deposit payment, we will send you a confirmation invoice within 24 hours.

Q. Do you send us information about the destinations we will visit?

A. It’s essential that you read the tour’s Detailed Itinerary before booking. You can view it at wendywutours.com.au or request a copy from us. These concise trip notes outline key considerations such as walking durations, travel times, and accommodation standards. Three weeks before departure, you’ll receive your final documents, including a day-by-day itinerary, and travel guide insert.

Q. Will I know which hotels I will be staying in before I go?

A. Hotel details will be sent with your final documents around three weeks prior to departure. Note that these may be subject to change. Hotels generally range from 3-4 stars. In more remote areas, accommodation may be of a lower standard and may not have all western amenities. Rest assured that all hotels used by Wendy Wu Tours are regularly inspected by our staff and our partners to ensure that standards meet your needs. If you require an early check-in or late check-out for your arrival and departure days, please contact us.

Q. Do I need a visa?

A. When you make your booking, we will advise you on the latest visa requirements for your destination. Our operations team will get in

touch with you nearer the time of your departure with full information on how to obtain your visa.

Q. Do I need travel insurance?

A. It is a condition of your booking that you are insured for the duration of your trip. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, medical requirements, luggage, repatriations and additional expenses. At a minimum, the policy is required to cover medical requirements including medical evacuations / repatriations. The choice of insurer is yours. We strongly suggest you purchase insurance at the time you pay your deposit. This is because cancellation fees and charges are payable from that time. We may request you to provide evidence that you have taken out and paid for a policy to comply with this condition.

Q. What vaccinations do I need?

A. Vaccination requirements often change, therefore for up to date information please seek your doctor’s advice.

Q. How fit do I need to be?

A. Our group tours are graded on each page with a Physical Rating to reflect the level of fitness required. The specific reasons for a particular grading for each tour are clearly described in the Detailed Itinerary which you can find on our website. Please contact us if you require any advice. Our range of Private tours is more flexible and may better cater for individual needs. Ask us for more details.

Q. What size are your tour groups?

A. The maximum group size on our Latin America Classic tours is between 18 and 28, and Go Beyond tours is a maximum of 18 passengers. You may meet other tour groups travelling concurrently.

Q. Do you run guaranteed departures?

A. Group tours are guaranteed to run subject to a minimum of 10 passengers. A National Escort will accompany each group of 10 or more. We will endeavour to run groups of a smaller size with local guides if viable to do so.

Q. As a single traveller, will I have to pay a single supplement?

A. We offer several options for single travellers joining our tours. The first is to book onto one of our Solo Departures, which are reserved exclusively for solo travellers and have single occupancy of a double room built into the tour price (plus free access to an airport lounge if available on your flight itinerary, and a welcome cocktail on arrival) or, if you prefer, you can pay the single room supplement on a regular departure and have a private room reserved for you. Another possibility is to choose our ‘Happy to Share’ option at time of booking where, if we can find you a share partner of the same gender, your Single Supplement will be removed from your booking. We regret that Happy to Share requests cannot be accepted within 75 days of departure. Please note that ‘Happy to Share’ requests received at time of booking may not be confirmed until after your final payment due date. Our Customer Services Team will contact you around 60 days prior to departure to let you know if a share partner has been found. If a share partner is found, the Single Supplement will be removed from your booking and refunded. If a share partner is not found, the Single Supplement will remain on your booking.

Q. What is the maximum luggage allowance on your tours?

A. Your main suitcase or backpack must not exceed 20kg and your hand luggage must not exceed 5kg as this is the maximum allowance on internal flights and trains. On any of our tours to Peru, you will visit Machu Picchu. Please note that hand luggage on board the train to the citadel should not exceed 5kgs and measure no more than 40cm x 35cm x 20cm.

Q. What currency should I take?

A. We recommend you take the local currency and a credit/debit card. If travelling to more than one country it may also be advisable to bring some US dollars to exchange locally. We do not recommend travellers cheques. Please ensure you have sufficient funds to pay for personal expenses such as drinks, snacks, souvenirs and optional extras.

Q. When is the best time to travel?

A. Our group tour dates are based on the best time to travel in each destination, however as Latin America is such a large and varied continent there will be drastic differences between and even within countries, sometimes on the same tour. See individual tour pages and Detailed Itinerary in this brochure for further information about the seasons and climate in each destination.

Q. Do you allow children on your tours?

A. We allow children 12 years and over on most of our group tours. Alternatively, private tours offer greater flexibility whilst on tour and are suitable for any age group. Any of our tours can be enjoyed as a private tour.

Q. Will I be travelling with passengers from other countries?

A. Our passengers are mainly from the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Occasionally we are joined by English speaking passengers from other countries.

Q. What sort of vehicles do you use?

A. We use a variety of transportation to operate your itinerary at the best pace and to give you an authentic travel experience so you are not always ‘removed’ from the locals. The same advice applies to all modes of transport. Carry all valuables with you at all times – a money belt is recommended – and make sure a passenger remains with your belongings at all times. Keep a lock on your main luggage. Domestic Flights We use a number of different domestic carriers within Latin America. Planes

are very similar to what you would travel on at home with allocated seats. Depending on flight duration meals may/may not be provided. Group members may not necessarily be seated together. The flight schedule of domestic airlines changes frequently, hence all domestic flights that appear in your itinerary are subject to change. Please ensure that all valuables and any medications you may need for the rest of the day are carried in your hand luggage. The luggage limit is 20kg per passenger, and bags must be locked. Airlines currently do not allow liquids (alcohol, spirits, wine, water, perfume etc) or sharp objects to be carried onboard the aircraft in hand luggage and these will be confiscated. Wendy Wu Tours issues most domestic flight tickets in Latin America, and tickets will be handled by your national escort and given to each passenger just prior to your flight.

Coaches Our coaches are comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles. It is recommended that where seatbelts are available customers must use them and remain seated at all times whilst the vehicle is moving. Wendy Wu Tours cannot guarantee that vehicles will be fitted with operable seatbelts. There will also be some instances where smaller vehicles such as jeeps are used to access certain areas. If this is the case this will be stated in your itinerary.

Trains Panoramic Peru, Andes to Atacama, Treasures of South America and Ultimate South America tours will include an exciting train journey through the mountains. This will be aboard either the Vistadome train or the Titicaca train. These are comfortable trains that travel

through incredible landscapes and will be a real highlight of your trip. Your guide will try to organise the whole group to be seated in the same carriage but during busy periods of travel this may not be possible.

Boats Some itineraries include time spent touring by boat. To take part in any boat ride, you should be of average mobility and be able to climb on and off the vessels unaided. You should also be able to disembark onto makeshift docks without handrails, or onto uneven riverbanks.

Q. Is there a dress code on your tours?

A. Our dress code is very relaxed; however, please note that clothing covering the arms and legs is more appropriate when visiting religious buildings and smart casual clothes are recommended for evenings.

Q. Are meals included?

A. All meals (excluding beverages) are included in our group tours except where stated. Please note that in remote areas, meals may be simple and choices limited. Meals included in Private tours are stated in the itinerary and include several free evenings, offering flexibility for those who wish to explore local restaurants. If you book a fully inclusive Classic Tour your first meal will be dinner on the day of arrival and will end with breakfast on the normal day of departure. Any additional meals will be at your own expense and no refund will be made for any meals missed. You will sample a range of local cuisine with occasional western meals, and meals are usually taken at local restaurants.

Q. Are there shopping opportunities on your tours?

A. There will be an array of shopping opportunities for those who love to seek out a bargain. We encourage all passengers to enjoy their local shopping expeditions but to take care and be wise when purchasing.

Q. Can special requests be arranged?

A. If you have any special requests such as dietary requirements, or if you wish to celebrate an event, please notify us at the time of booking and we will do everything possible to ensure your requests are met. Please note that special requests cannot be guaranteed.

Q. What hours of the day do your tours operate?

A. They generally start about 8am and end shortly after your evening meal. Occasionally earlier starts are required to meet flight departures or to visit sights at the best time of day.

Q. How do standards abroad compare with Australia?

A. We will do our best to ensure that your holiday is safe and trouble free and we are continually working with our local partners to maintain and improve health and safety standards. Travelling abroad involves new places and new experiences and sometimes this means different safety and hygiene standards to those

we are used to in Australia. We therefore ask that you take care; pay attention at all times and use your common sense. You are also requested to refer to notices and follow advice from your National Escort or local guide.

Q. How does the tipping system work on your tours?

A. Tipping is expected Latin America. However this can often lead to awkwardness in knowing when it is appropriate to tip and how much, as well as ensuring you have a suitable amount of change available at the time. For your convenience, and based on many years of experience, Wendy Wu Tours operates a kitty system on our group tours so your National Escort will look after this aspect of your trip for you. It also ensures that the amounts paid are reasonable for you but still fair for the local people. The amount is stated on each group tour page (and will be advised again in your final documents). Any additional tipping on any of our tours is welcomed at your discretion. Please feel free to tip restaurant staff, porters, or local guides if they performed a special service for you. For tours with fewer than 10 passengers, tipping will be slightly higher than stated on the group tour pages.

Health & Safety

Your health, safety and wellbeing on holiday are of paramount importance to us. Wendy Wu Tours is a fully insured and bonded tour operator with comprehensive public liability cover.Working closely with an independent health and safety organisation, the Wendy Wu Tours team carries out health and safety checks on accommodation, transport and excursions; and works with our destination partners and suppliers towards improving health and safety standards throughout the regions in which we operate. All travellers should be aware that safety standards vary across the different regions we visit and may not match the standards we enjoy in Australia. In the unlikely event of a problem or emergency on tour, Wendy Wu Tours has a Crisis Management process in place to support all of our customers. We also have a dedicated 24-hour emergency support number.

Travelling Sustainably

For the last 25 years we’ve been taking groups of travellers to unique and spectacular places, and know full well how impactful, inspiring and horizon-broadening exploring the world can be. Over the years we have been building as many mutually beneficial, sustainable and responsible relationships as possible in the destinations that we visit, so they too are able to thrive.

Local Economic Empowerment

We believe travel should positively benefit the communities we visit. That’s why we prioritise locally-owned restaurants, hotels, and experiences that support local businesses and create sustainable livelihoods. When travelling with us, you help empower local artisans, entrepreneurs, guides, drivers and so many others, ensuring that tourism leaves a positive, lasting impact.

Respectful Cultural Experiences

We are committed to fostering meaningful, authentic, and respectful interactions with the communities we visit. Our tours are designed to celebrate local traditions, honour cultural heritage, and support experiences led by local experts. We encourage travellers to engage with an open mind, follow local customs, and contribute to the preservation of cultural identity in a responsible way.

Lower Impact Travel

We are reducing our environmental impact by building more rail journeys into our itineraries, and promoting low-season travel. Trains offer a greener alternative to flying, lowering carbon emissions while providing a more immersive travel experience. By promoting more departures in the low season, we also help ease pressure on popular destinations, support local economies year-round, and create a more sustainable way to explore the world.

Sustainable Tourism Education

We believe responsible travel starts with awareness. That’s why we provide our travellers with practical tips on reducing their environmental impact and supporting communities in a meaningful way. Through pre-departure resources and on-tour guidance, we empower our travellers to make informed, sustainable choices that help protect the destinations we visit for future generations.

Prices stated are in Australian Dollars ($AUD) and are current at the time of publication. The most up to date pricing is available on our website. The price includes international flights (where tour specifies it is flight inclusive), accommodation, transportation and other inclusions as per the published itinerary. Wendy Wu Tours reserves the right to release specials which are applicable to new bookings only. We also reserve the right to correct any obvious errors in rates quoted or calculated, or any omissions made at any time during your booking.

Itinerary Deviations All fully inclusive Classic Tour or Go Beyond Tour prices indicated in the brochure are based on group travel and any deviation requested by you from the set itinerary may incur additional airline ticket costs. Arrangements such as transfers, accommodation, etc. outside the set group arrangements/dates are at an additional cost.

Airline Fuel Charges In addition to the cost of any airfares, airlines also charge an additional levy to cover the ever-increasing cost of aviation fuel. As fuel prices have fluctuated, so too has the amount airlines charge for this levy. At the time of pricing, some airline fuel surcharges are included in the cost of the fare; however, this amount is subject to change until your airline ticket is issued. Other Variations We reserve the right to surcharge the cost of your booked travel arrangements prior to commencement for circumstances beyond our control such as the imposition of new or amended Government charges, or if minimum passengers’ requirements aren’t satisfied (see below). We also reserve the right to vary the cost of your travel arrangements due to currency fluctuations. However, we will not vary the cost for currency fluctuations once full payment has been received by us and we will absorb the first 2% of any negative currency fluctuation.

PAYMENTS – Deposit You are required to pay a non-refundable deposit of $300 per person (or full payment if booking within 75 days of commencement of your travel arrangements) to Wendy Wu Tours or your travel agent within three days of you making your booking request. Please note that we may not hold any services for you until we receive payment of your deposit, meaning that services may become unavailable or prices may increase, in which case you will be responsible for paying the increased price, and we will not be responsible if services become unavailable. In some cases, the amount of the deposit may be higher where, for example, we need to pre-purchase flight tickets, cruise or rail cabins accommodation or other services and in the case of our flight upgrade special offers, to which early airline ticketing may apply – please see the terms

and conditions of individual special offers for further information. This will be advised at the time of quotation.

Instalment Payment(s) Additional payments may be required if airlines request earlier ticketing. We will provide you with reasonable notice if any such instalment payments become necessary, and you must make the payment by the due date specified in that notice.

Balance Payment The final balance of the travel arrangements is due no later than 75 days prior to the confirmed tour commencement date. Air tickets are issued upon receiving final payment only. Final payment for Cruise & Tour packages and other special collections may be required earlier than the standard due date. Any such earlier payment deadline will be specified in your booking invoice.

Late Payment If you fail to make payment by the due date, we will remind you to make payment. In addition to the payment, you will also be responsible for any costs imposed on us by suppliers resulting from late payment. If we do not receive payment within 7 days after the reminder, you will be deemed to have cancelled your booking and cancellation fees will apply (see below).

Card Processing Fees Please note that any payments made by credit or debit card are subject to a 1.2% processing fee (1.8% for Amex), which represents the cost charged to us to process the payment.

AMENDMENTS BY YOU We will endeavour to accommodate amendments and additional requests.

AMENDMENTS BY US Due to the dynamic nature of the travel industry, we may occasionally need to make amendments or modifications to the itinerary and its inclusions, and you acknowledge our right to do this. Most changes will not be significant. If we become aware of any significant changes to your itinerary or its inclusions that materially detract from the overall value of the trip (where we determine it can still proceed), then we will notify you within a reasonable time and refund you an amount attributable to any reduction in value determined by us acting reasonably.

We reserve the right to substitute hotels, vessels and other forms of accommodation with properties or vessels of a substantially comparable or higher standard. We will endeavour to minimise substitutions. You acknowledge our right to do so and agree that these substitutions will not be considered a significant change.

During Travel You acknowledge that the itinerary, modes of transport, accommodation and/or the trip’s inclusions may need to change during your trip due to local circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including road conditions, poor weather, changes in transport schedules, and/or vehicle breakdowns. Where such changes are necessary, you agree that we may pass on any additional costs we reasonably incur in making alternative arrangements for your benefit.

General To the fullest extent permitted by law:

- We will not be responsible for any omissions or modifications to the itinerary or the inclusions due to Force Majeure or other circumstances beyond our control happening after we have accepted your booking. This includes any loss of enjoyment or distress caused by omissions or modifications.

- If you are entitled to any compensation for any modifications or omissions, then you agree it will be reduced by the value of any alternative services we provide which you accept; and

- We will not be responsible to you for any other expenses or loss you incur resulting from any amendment or change to the itinerary or its inclusions.

AIRLINE SCHEDULE CHANGES We are not responsible for any schedule changes imposed by airlines. While we will make reasonable efforts to adjust your touring and accommodation arrangements to accommodate such changes, we are not responsible for any services missed as a result.

OTHER CANCELLATIONS OR RESCHEDULING In these Booking Conditions, the term Force Majeure means an event or events beyond our control and which we could not have reasonably prevented, and includes but is not limited to: (a) natural disasters (including not limited to flooding, fire, earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption), adverse weather conditions (including hurricane or cyclone), high or low water levels; (b) war, armed conflict, industrial dispute, civil strife, terrorist activity or the threat of such acts; (c) epidemic, pandemic; (d) any new or change in law, order, decree, rule or regulation of any government authority (the events in (d) being “Government Restrictions”)).

Force Majeure – Prior to travel If:

• in our reasonable opinion we (either directly or through our employees, contractors, suppliers or agents) determine that your travel arrangements cannot safely, lawfully or reasonably proceed due to a Force Majeure event; or

• you give us notice no more than 14 days prior to commencement of your booked travel arrangements that you cannot reasonably make use of them due to Government Restrictions (for example due to border closures) then we may:

• reschedule your travel arrangements, but only if you are agreeable to the rescheduled arrangements; or

• cancel your travel arrangements, in which case our contract with you will terminate.

If we cancel your travel arrangements, neither of us will have any claim for damages against the other for the cancelled arrangements. However, we will either:

• issue you with a credit equal to payments received by us for the cancelled travel arrangements, redeemable within 24 months of issue against any travel services offered by us; or

• refund payments attributable to the cancelled travel arrangements less: (a) unrecoverable third party costs and other expenses incurred or payable by us for the cancelled travel arrangements; (b) overhead charges incurred by us relative to the price of the cancelled travel arrangements; and (c) fair compensation for work undertaken by us in relation to the cancelled travel arrangements until the time of cancellation and in connection with the processing of any refund.

Please note that our ability to issue you with a credit may be dependent on our suppliers issuing corresponding credits to us. We cannot guarantee that our suppliers will issue corresponding credits and so in such circumstances we may opt to pay you a limited cash refund as outlined.

Force Majeure – During travel If due to Force Majeure we cancel travel arrangements after your trip has commenced, we will provide you with a refund of recovered third party costs plus any third-party costs we don’t incur for cancelled travel arrangements only.

Force Majeure – General Where a limited cash refund is to be paid by us, we will use reasonable endeavours to recover payments from third parties attributable to your booking, but we make no guarantee that we will be able to recover these payments either partially or at all. If after we have paid you a limited cash refund (or after we determine that no cash refund is currently payable) we recover payments from third parties attributable to your booking, then we will pass on this payment to you.

We will not be responsible for any other loss or costs you incur in connection with your booking (for example, airfares, insurance and visa expenses) if your tour or travel arrangements are cancelled due to an event of Force Majeure.

If we provide you with any alternative services or assistance where travel arrangements are cancelled or rescheduled due to Force Majeure which you accept, then you agree the amount to be refunded to you will be reduced by the value of these services and assistance.

You acknowledge that the terms in this section are reasonably necessary to protect our legitimate business interests. We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance that adequately responds to cancellation and rescheduling risks associated with Force Majeure events as soon as you have paid a deposit.

Other Cancellations If we cancel your travel arrangements for reasons other than Force Majeure or a failure to satisfy minimum numbers (see below), you will be offered (at your election) a refund of all funds paid, or the offer of travel arrangements of substantially equal quality if appropriate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be responsible to you for any other expenses or loss you incur resulting from our cancellation.

GOVERNMENT-IMPOSED QUARANTINE OR TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS

If, within 75 days of your scheduled departure, you are subject to a mandatory quarantine or other travel restriction imposed by a government or public health authority (whether due to illness, close contact, or any other reason) and as a result you are reasonably unable to make use of the travel services booked with us, we will not be liable for any third-party costs, cancellation fees or prepaid arrangements, including (but not limited to) airfares, cruise bookings, or accommodation.

Similarly, if you are directed by a government or public health authority to quarantine or return home early during your tour, we will not be responsible for any additional costs you incur as a result, including extra accommodation, transport changes, or other amendments to your travel plans.

We will, however, make reasonable efforts to recover any refundable amounts on your behalf or to negotiate credits or deferrals with third-party providers, where possible.

MINIMUM NUMBERS Some trips are based on a minimum number of passengers travelling. We will advise you prior to confirming your booking if this is the case. If a trip fails to satisfy minimum numbers, the trip may be cancelled or re-costed. We will give you notice no later than 60 days prior to the trip’s commencement. If the trip is re-costed, you will have the option to either accept the new cost or to cancel your booking. You must make this election within 14 days of receiving notice from us. If the trip is cancelled or if you cancel your booking in these circumstances, we will at your election refund all payments made or credit payments towards alternative arrangements. We will not be responsible for any other travel arrangements affected by, or any additional costs incurred, because of cancellation in these circumstances.

JOINING YOUR TOUR Airline schedules from different cities vary so travellers from some cities may need to make their own way to another capital city to join the tour or may require pre- or post-tour accommodation, a stopover or have a lengthy transit enroute to their destination. Any cost for accommodation, transportation (including but not limited to airport transfers) or meals incurred will be at the passengers’ own expense. Our reservations team can assist with any of these additional services. If you have booked a land only option, please email a copy of your flight schedule and passport copy at time of final payment so we can arrange transfers and visas.

HOTELS Hotel descriptions featured on our website are based on current hotel guides provided by suppliers. Any facilities described are subject to change at any time. Maps and photographs are included for general information only and may not necessarily reflect actual routings, location or services. Wendy Wu Tours has made reasonable enquiries to verify that the descriptions and details are accurate but does not warrant that they are. We reserve the right to substitute hotels, vessels and other forms of accommodation with properties or vessels of a comparable or higher standard.

TRAVEL INSURANCE It is a condition of your booking that you are insured for the duration of your trip. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, medical requirements, luggage, repatriations and additional expenses. At a minimum, the policy is required to cover medical requirements including medical evacuations / repatriations. The choice of insurer is yours. We strongly suggest you purchase insurance at the time you pay your deposit. This is because cancellation fees and charges are payable from that time.

We may request you to provide evidence that you have taken out and paid for a policy to comply with this condition. If you fail to provide a certificate of currency of insurance within a reasonable time after our request, then this will be deemed a cancellation by you and standard cancellation fees will apply (see ‘Cancellation by You’ above).

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS It is your responsibility to ensure that you have a suitable level of health and fitness to undertake the trip of your choice. If you have doubts about your ability to undertake the trip, please contact us to discuss your circumstances prior to making a booking request.

Existing Medical Conditions If you have a medical condition which may reasonably be expected to increase your risk of needing medical attention, or which may materially affect the usual conduct of the trip, then you must advise us prior to or at the time you make your booking request.

We may request you to provide an assessment of your medical condition from a qualified medical practitioner. If the assessment indicates that you are not fit to travel or will require special assistance which we cannot reasonably provide, then we may cancel your booking. Provided you notified us of your medical condition prior to or at the time you made your booking request, we will provide you with a full refund of payments made.

If you fail to provide a medical assessment within a reasonable time, then this will be considered a cancellation by you and cancellation fees and charges will apply (See ‘Cancellation by You’ section above).

Changes to Medical Conditions After Booking You must notify us as soon as possible of any new or changed medical or mobility condition that may reasonably be expected to increase your risk of needing medical attention or special assistance, or that may unreasonably affect the usual conduct of the trip. The provisions above will apply, including our right to cancel and apply relevant cancellation fees.

Undisclosed or Emerging Medical Conditions If, during the tour, we reasonably identify that you have a medical or mobility condition (including but not limited to cognitive impairment or behavioural issues) that was not disclosed prior to booking, and:

• it materially affects your ability to safely participate in the tour;

• places you, our staff, or other travellers at risk;

• requires special assistance we cannot reasonably provide; or

• unreasonably affects the usual conduct of the tour, we may cancel your continued participation in the tour.

In such cases:

• You will not be entitled to a refund for any unused services; and

• We may arrange for your early return home and/or additional support, and you agree to reimburse us for any reasonable costs incurred in doing so.

Dietary Requirements Special dietary requests are required to be notified to us at the time of booking. We will endeavour to communicate your requirements to relevant suppliers. However, we cannot guarantee requests will be met by suppliers. It is your responsibility to check that meals and beverages do not contain any allergens. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we expressly disclaim any liability for meals or beverages that contain allergens.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS & VISA PROCESSING A passport with a minimum of six months validity and at least 2 blank pages upon return to Australia is required for customers travelling to all countries in our programme. Visa fees are included for Australian passport holders in all fully inclusive Classic Tours and Go Beyond Tours. Non-Australian passport holders may incur additional fees and require additional documentation. Wendy Wu Tours may not be able to assist with processing the visas for some nationalities. If passports are not received by Wendy Wu Tours 75 days prior to departure, you may be required to pay an urgent visa processing fee, which we will advise at the time. Unless otherwise requested your passport will be returned to you with final documentation approximately three weeks prior to your departure date. If the customer requests the passports to be returned prior to this, an additional fee will be incurred. Responsibility for documentation accuracy, passport validity, purchase of additional required passport photos, the cost for sending passports to Wendy Wu Tours and dispatch of documents rests with the customer.

Wendy Wu Tours accepts no responsibility for any failure in this respect. Wendy Wu Tours does not issue foreign visas. We only submit passports and application forms for visas to be issued by the relevant authorities. Wendy Wu Tours cannot guarantee that any visa will be issued by the relevant authority and accepts no responsibility if a visa application is refused. Any cancellation fees or other expenses incurred by the customer due to the refusal of a visa will be entirely the customer’s liability. Relevant authorities may require additional documentation to approve your visa application. The cost of additional documentation or application forms are at the traveller’s expense. Please see our website for the most up-to-date information.

Late Bookings If a booking is made within 75 days prior to departure it is considered a late booking. Late bookings may incur additional fees including any applicable urgent visa processing fees. Wendy Wu Tours does not process visa applications for bookings made less than 30 days prior to departure but customers are entitled to apply for their own visas.

VACCINATIONS It is your responsibility to obtain vaccinations and preventative medicines as may be required for the duration of the trip. Any information provided by us is given in good faith and you must independently verify it. If suppliers refuse to provide you with travel arrangements due to any vaccination deficiency, then you agree you will not be entitled to any refund for those arrangements. We will not be responsible to you for any loss or expenses you incur (including loss of enjoyment or the costs of alternative arrangements) if you are denied services in these circumstances.

SINGLE TRAVELLERS We offer several options for single travellers joining our tours. The first is to book onto one of our Solo Departures, which are reserved exclusively for solo travellers and have single occupancy of a double room built into the tour price (plus free access to an airport lounge if available on your flight itinerary, and a welcome cocktail on arrival) or, if you prefer, you can pay the single room supplement on a regular departure and have a private room reserved for you. Another possibility is to choose our ‘Happy to Share’ option at time of booking where, if we can find you a share partner of the same gender, your Single Supplement will be removed from your booking. We regret that Happy to Share requests cannot be accepted within 75 days of departure. Please note that ‘Happy to Share’ requests received at time of booking may not be confirmed until after your final payment due date. Our Customer Services Team will contact you around 60 days prior to departure to let you know if a share partner has been found. If a share partner is found, the Single Supplement will be removed from your booking and refunded. If a share partner is not found, the Single Supplement will remain on your booking. Wendy Wu Tours reserves the right to change or withdraw this arrangement at any time. If the booking originated as a twin share booking and one traveller cancels, the remaining traveller will be charged the applicable single supplement. If the cancellation occurs more than 75 days prior to the tour departure date, the option to select ‘Happy to Share’ will apply if it is available on the selected tour. Our dedicated solo departures are guaranteed a single room with no additional supplement and do not have a ‘Happy to Share’ option.

DURING TRAVEL – Remote Areas You acknowledge that some tours visit and include overnight accommodation in remote areas which are located considerable distances from hospitals, medical centres or other forms of medical facilities. It may take many hours before you receive any professional medical attention.

You acknowledge that there may be occasions where you require first aid due to an accident, illness, injury or other health condition. You consent to our (and our suppliers’) personnel providing you with first aid on the basis that: (a) they are not qualified medical professionals; (b) we make no warranties and expressly disclaim all warranties regarding the standard of care that may be provided; and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by law we will not be liable (and neither will our personnel) for any care given or omitted. If you are unable to do so yourself, you consent to us seeking and securing any medical treatment that we reasonably consider you require. This may include attendance or evacuation by air. You agree to reimburse us for any costs we incur in seeking medical treatment or evacuation on your behalf.

Refusal of Carriage We reserve the right to reasonably remove you from a group tour if, in our or our suppliers’ opinion, your condition, conduct, or circumstances pose a material risk to your own safety or wellbeing, or to the safety, comfort, or enjoyment of others. This includes, but is not limited to, situations where you are physically, medically, or mentally unable to participate in the tour as planned, engage in disruptive or antisocial behaviour, or are found in possession of prohibited substances or materials. In such cases, you will not be entitled to any refund for unused services, and you will be responsible for any additional costs incurred because of your removal.

Seatbelts Please note that seatbelts are not compulsory by law in all destinations featured in this brochure and therefore the local people largely choose not to wear them. For this reason, local operators may or may not have seatbelts in vehicles or they may be hidden underneath protective seat covers. It is recommended that where seatbelts are available customers must use them and always remain seated while the vehicle is moving. As such, customers acknowledge that seatbelts may not be available and therefore travel at their own risk. Customers warrant that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, they shall not make any claim howsoever arising from injury or damage in respect of, arising from or contributed to by the absence of seatbelts and hereby release Wendy Wu Tours from all such claims.

Independent Services We are not responsible for any additional activities or excursions which are not included in the booked itinerary or which we sell as agent for the principal operator. Any advice or recommendation made by a guide or local representative does not make us responsible for delivery. Leisure activities and services undertaken during free time is at the customer’s own discretion.

Shopping & Other Services Shopping can be fun and entertaining, especially in local markets. However, Wendy Wu Tours, its staff and employees are neither qualified nor permitted to ensure or guarantee the quality or value of any goods purchased or the suitability of any retail outlets visited and the security of using a credit card to purchase such goods. In all cases the purchasing of goods and the use of a credit card for those transactions is always entirely at the customer’s own risk and the customer must use their own discretion.

ACCEPTANCE OF RISK You acknowledge that travel involves personal risks which may be greater than those present in your everyday life. This could be because of the adventurous nature of your trip or the visiting of destinations which present geographical, political or cultural risks and dangers. You should consult guidance issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) applicable to the destinations within your itinerary. You acknowledge that your choice to travel is made having had the benefit of DFAT guidance, and you

accept any additional personal risks associated with your travel. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim any liability for these risks.

RESPONSIBILITY – Services Supplied By Independent Suppliers Where a third party over whom we have no direct control (Independent Supplier) is the supplier of travel arrangements that form part of your trip, you acknowledge that our obligations to you are limited to taking reasonable steps to select a reputable Independent Supplier and arranging for them to provide those travel arrangements to you. Independent Suppliers over whom we have no direct control could include but are not limited to airlines, railway and cruise operators, hoteliers, independent transport companies (i.e., vehicles not operated by us), attraction and venue operators and common carriers.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be responsible to you for any loss, damage, personal injury or delay attributable to the actions or omissions of an Independent Supplier and not caused by our negligence. Any claims you have in this regard must be made against the Independent Supplier.

Services We Directly Supply To the extent only that we are the principal supplier to you of travel arrangements or other services which we own, operate or control, then we will provide those travel arrangements and services with reasonable skill and care.

We will only be responsible for our employees in the course of their employment, and for our agents and contractors (where we have direct control over them) if they were carrying out the work we had asked them to do.

We will not be responsible for any loss, damage, claim or expense caused by the acts or omissions of yourself, of any other third party not connected with the provision of the travel arrangements or services, or due to an event of Force Majeure.

Recreational Services If we supply any recreational services to you, then to the maximum extent permitted by law we exclude any liability for death, physical injury or mental injury or any other liability referred to in section 139A(3) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) resulting from our failure to comply with a guarantee that applies under Subdivision B of Division 1 of Part 3-2 of the AustralianConsumerLaw.

This exclusion does not apply to significant personal injury caused by our reckless conduct.

Recreational services means services that consist of participation in the activities referred to in Section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), being participation in:

(a) a sporting activity or similar leisure time pursuit; or (b) any other activity that:

(i) involves a significant degree of physical exertion or physical risk; and (ii) is undertaken for the purposes of recreation, enjoyment or leisure.

General Liability Limitation We do not guarantee our schedule. We will not be responsible for any loss or additional expenses you incur for any missed connections/services attributable to delays.

You acknowledge that travel arrangements or services which comply with local laws and regulations will be deemed to have been properly performed, even if this would not be considered the case in Australia.

Australian Consumer Law and corresponding legislation in State jurisdictions in certain circumstances imply mandatory guarantees into consumer contracts (“Consumer Guarantees”). These Booking Conditions do not exclude or limit the application of the Consumer Guarantees other than to the extent they can be excluded or limited, in which case we limit or exclude the Consumer Guarantees to the fullest extent possible. Other than the Consumer Guarantees, we disclaim all warranties and guarantees.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our maximum liability to you under these Booking Conditions, in tort (including negligence) or at law is limited to arranging for the travel arrangements to be resupplied or payment of the cost of having them resupplied.
