Travel Terms and Conditions – Maca

1.1 Overview
Maca specializes in unique sailing and nature-based adventures that require flexibility from both participants and organizers. Our itineraries involve unpredictable elements like weather, sea conditions, and logistical challenges, which may require changes to planned routes or activities. The safety of our guests and crew is always our highest priority.

1.2 Itinerary Changes
All itineraries, schedules, and descriptions provided are provisional and subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. If adjustments are necessary before or during the trip, we aim to provide alternatives of equivalent value and maintain the overall spirit of the journey. Any such changes will not typically result in price adjustments unless they significantly alter the nature of the trip.

1.3 Force Majeure
In the event of extreme weather, political unrest, natural disasters, or other conditions beyond our control, trips may be modified, postponed, or canceled. Refunds are not guaranteed in these circumstances, but we will strive to offer alternative solutions.

1.4 Participant Safety and Responsibility
Maca adventures involve inherent risks associated with sailing and outdoor sports. Participation is at your own risk. Our guides and skippers are experienced and will prioritize safety at all times. Participants must follow all instructions to minimize risks. If adjustments to the itinerary are necessary for safety reasons, participants must adhere to the new plan.
