3 Force Majeure Cancellations

Force majeure refers to any unavoidable, unforeseeable, and irresistible event beyond the control of Cusco Transporte that prevents or makes the provision of service unviable. These events do not constitute a breach by the company and do not automatically entitle the client to a full refund.

3.1 Events considered force majeure:

  • Natural disasters: earthquakes, floods, landslides, mudslides, volcanic eruptions, snowstorms, or hailstorms affecting roads or destinations.
  • Fires: forest fires, fires in archaeological zones or natural areas causing the closure or inaccessibility of the destination (including closures of Machu Picchu or other sites).
  • Health emergencies: epidemics, pandemics, disease outbreaks, or public health alerts declared by competent authorities.
  • Social conflicts: strikes, regional or national stoppages, road blockades, protests, or unrest preventing vehicle circulation.
  • Government decisions: closure of parks, sanctuaries, or archaeological sites by the Ministry of Culture, SERNANP, municipalities, or other authorities; circulation restrictions or states of emergency.
  • Extreme weather conditions: torrential rain, dense fog, or other conditions making the service unfeasible or unsafe.
  • Road accidents unrelated to our operation that block transit.

3.2 In these cases, Cusco Transporte will offer:

  • Option 1 — Free rescheduling: date change for the same service at no extra cost, subject to availability.
  • Option 2 — Credit: credit for the value of the service, applicable to a future booking within 12 months.
  • Option 3 — Partial refund: if none of the above is viable, we will assess a refund of the amount paid minus already-incurred operational costs (coordination, unit assignment, access reservations).

Important: Force majeure does not automatically entitle the client to a full refund. Events such as the closure of Machu Picchu due to fires or other causes beyond our control are outside our control. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance with force majeure cancellation coverage — this is the appropriate financial protection for these situations.

For more details on force majeure events, see Section 9 of our Terms and Conditions.
