Responsibilities
Pelecanus acts mainly as an intermediary between the customer and the entities or persons responsible for the provision of the different services that are contracted through the company: rent of vehicles, guides, restaurants, hotels, airlines, sports, land, sea and river transport or any other service not directly provided by the company. As a travel agent, Pelecanus will assist the customer as much as possible in resolving any type of inconvenience, but complaints should be addressed first to the service operator being responsible on site and then Pelecanus. Likewise, the costs that the suppliers change in an extemporaneous manner, after having made the total payment, will be the responsibility of the client. These costs may be changed due to the increase in the price of fuel, new taxes, foreign exchange, among others. Pelecanus will notify the customer of such changes as soon as it has been informed about them.
Pelecanus is not liable for loss or theft of personal belongings, damages, accidents, natural disasters, illness, injuries, moral or physical damage, death or other calamity due to weather, protests, delays, quarantine or other causes outside the control of the company. The extra expenses incurred due to this type of disaster will be supplied by the client, as well as the oversold air tickets, delays, cancellations, rescheduling, or other inconvenience with flights.
If any of the situations or force majeure arises, we will work and strive to find a solution and help the client to get around the situation in the best possible way. However, Pelecanus will not be responsible for the additional costs that these problems generate. Therefore, we reserve the right to modify itineraries, activities, transportation, programs and routes without prior notice if there is a force majeure.
In general, our prices do not include (unless other arrangements are officially expressed): Any expenses made to and from the destination during transfers, meals not specified in the service description, alcoholic beverages, telephone calls, souvenir purchases or other personal objects and services not specified in the package description.

All persons must denounce, prevent and prevent the exploitation, publication, use and dissemination of images, audiovisual archives, documents or links related to any type of pornographic material or sexual activities alluding to minors.

Reservation
To make the reservation more than 60 days before the trip, a payment of at least 50% of the total value of the service must be made. The payment of the surplus must be paid 60 days before the start. If the reservation is made less than 60 days before the first day of the trip, the entire price must be paid. In some cases, a charge of more than 50% of the total price will be made due to different causes (high seasons, holidays, requests from our suppliers, etc.). In such cases, Pelecanus will let the customer know in advance.
The reservation is considered valid and accepted at the moment Pelecanus sends an email or confirmation message through one of its official means. It is at this point that the contract between the customer (you) and the company (Pelecanus) is created.
Pelecanus reserves the right to cancel the service if the agreed payment is not made within the specified time frame.
All airline tickets are subject to price increases even after they have been purchased. This may be due to the change of foreign currency, fuel price, new taxes, the combination of these reasons or other causes beyond Pelecanus’ power, therefore, the customer agrees to make payments in such cases.
Changes to the reservation
Pelecanus will always seek to help the client in modifying some of the characteristics of the reservation previously made. However, the company does not guarantee to be able to fulfill the requirements of the client, since it depends on each of the suppliers and their policies.
If it is possible to make the change that the client requests, the client should be responsible for the extra costs that the change caused. Changes are subject to availability.
Methods and payment process
