Travel Insurance: Chile Nativo LTDA trips take place in remote locations, accidents can and do occur occasionally as well as last minute inconveniences, such as flight delays, loss of luggage, or a simple ankle twist preventing you from arriving on time at the meeting point agreed or unable to finish your vacation. Therefore we require all clients carry their own health, accident and liability insurance. Travel insurance should include protection for the full duration of your vacation including: medical expenses, injury, death, repatriation as well as cancellation and curtailment. It is good to check that there are no exclusions clauses limiting the types of activities included in your trip. Chile Nativo LTDA will act in full accordance during an emergency situation, but we can assume no responsibility for medical costs or evacuation costs during or after a trip.
