4. Changes and cancelation by Calaio viajes
Although Calaio viajes will make its best efforts to operate all tours as advertised, by accepting this contract the Customer accepts that it may prove necessary or advisable to vary or modify a tour itinerary or its contents due to prevailing local conditions. Calaio viajes reserves the right at any time to cancel or change any of the facilities, services or prices (including flights, accommodation or other arrangements) and to substitute alternative arrangements of comparable monetary value without compensation and accepts no liability for loss of enjoyment as a result of these changes. If a major change is known to us, the Customer will be told at the time of the booking. If a major change becomes necessary after booking Calaio viajes will inform the Customers as soon as reasonably possible. When a major change is made the Customer will have the choice of accepting the change of arrangements, purchasing any other available tour or canceling the tour and obtaining a full refund. Provided that the major change is not because of force majeure.

Anyone suffering from illness or disability or undergoing treatment for any physical or medical condition must declare the true nature of such condition at the time of booking and make arrangements for the provision of any medication or other treatment which may be required during the tour.
