  1. 50% of the cost of the trip, from 21 to 31 days from the start of the trip;
  1. 0% less than 20 days before the start of the trip.

In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee bookings, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, being in temporary possession of the amounts received, because it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, sea and road transport, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.

For both road and air excursions, it will not be possible to transfer dates or refund unused sections.
