1. Itinerary design

Horizontes will design a personalized itinerary upon request, based on the client's main interest, age, physical conditions, time of year, length of stay, and available accommodations and other suppliers. Once the client approves the final itinerary, Horizontes will make the reservations. Horizontes will immediately inform the client if there is no space available in any approved properties and suppliers and propose modifications if necessary. The client will approve the final itinerary before the final trip commitment. 

1. Reservations

Making reservations in advance is essential to guarantee your accommodation and services on the date the client wants to travel. For clients traveling from November to April and the months of July and August, Horizontes recommends that reservations be made at least six months in advance to guarantee space availability due to the high seasons’ high demand.

1. Payment terms

A deposit of 20% of the total cost must be paid by the client to guarantee the reservation. The remaining amount must be paid no later than 30 days before the trip during low season (May to November) and 60 days during high season (December to April). Certain vendors may require additional deposits to guarantee space, especially during peak seasons (Christmas, New Year´s and Easter Holidays). Horizontes will notify the client if an additional ammount is required. The client must make bank transfers to the following account: Beneficiary: Agencia de Viajes Horizontes de Costa Rica S.A.

1. Cancellation and Refunds

Cancellations by the client must be received in writing at least 30 days before arrival during the months of low season and, 60 days during the months of high season. In such cases, a $250 USD per person handling charge will apply, in addition to any prepaid hotel and service provider penalties, which are subject to the suppliers’ cancelation policies.
