Requests for extensions or extra services must be submitted in writing (email is fine). Reservations for hotels, guides or services are not made until deposits are received.

Extension reservations are accepted until 30 days before departure of your core Southwind trip. Extension cost is payable in full at the time reservations are made (if placed between 90-31 days before departure of your core trip). Trip cancellation fees as described under the Southwind Terms & Conditions. Apply if you need to cancel any extension services.

For Peru & Ecuador extensions rates are valid for the full calendar year while for Chile & Argentina rates are valid for the travel season (October through April). Whenever possible, we avoid increasing our prices. As we publish our prices a year or more in advance, we may occasionally be faced with significant cost increases due to international currency fluctuations, increased hotel rates, higher costs of services, and/or other factors over which we have no control. We regret this situation and will do everything reasonable to avoid raising the prices on our Trip Extensions as published in this summary, but please be advised that it is sometimes unavoidable.
