    Asked on December 7th, 2022

    I have been waiting for a reply to my question as to whether there are other travellers signed up for this trip. I would like to go but don't want to pay until I know that this is a guaranteed departure. Secondly, Will you honor my 10% lifetime loyalty discount?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten December 2022

      Yes, this trip is a guaranteed departure. There are already 7 people booked on the Jan 6 departure date. Unfortunately, because this trip is already on sale, we would not be able to combine the 10% loyalty discount with the current 15% sale.

      As per the CDC's website, presently you are required to hold proof of a Yellow fever vaccine for Nicaragua if you are travelling from a country with risk of YF virus transmission as identified by the WHO. Bear in mind that vaccination requirements are always subject to change, so we would recommend talking with a travel GP about vaccinations as well.
