I am interested in doing all the stops and all the activities. Just need it on a budget. Cheap hotels are fine. Can be only partially guided is fine. Can be up to 10 days if needed. Do you help in planning this?

We would like to inform you that, due to established guidelines, the program cannot be modified without the corresponding guidance. If you wish to make a reservation, you can do so directly through the website, choosing from the available dates.

if I select Quadruple room, will each person get a single bed? It is for a group of 4 x single ladies who are happy to share a room, but not a bed.

This type of room has two double beds. No single beds, sorry.

What is the maximum group size for the tour?

The group size for our tours can vary, and we will provide specifics once you have confirmed your booking.

Will I receive a confirmation document for my booking?

Yes, a welcome letter and service voucher will be sent to you a couple of days before your service starts.

Do I need a visa to travel for this tour?

Visa requirements vary by nationality; please check the requirements specific to your country.

Do you accommodate solo travelers differently?

We only offer the single room option as we do not match clients to share a room.

Can we upgrade our tickets to Business or First class on El Chepe?

Yes, upgrading to Business or First class is possible based on availability.

What is the starting time for the day tour on the first day?

The day tour will commence at 16:00 hrs.

in case I will book this tour I need to pay 20% in advance? Is also a stop to Aguas termales de Recowata?

We're sorry, that stop is not included in the program. As for your payment question, a colleague from TR should be replying soon.

Would transport from the airport to the hotel still be included? Which hotel would you book us into in Chihuahua, so we could book an extra night in the same hotel? If we arrived at 7.35am on the same day, would pick up that early be included? What time does the day tour start on the first day?

Yes it would. Quality Inn or similar and we could do this booking for you. Yes it would be included. 16:00 hrs.
