Time - + From the tropical forests and luxuriant
vegetation to the north, the exciting
and cosmopolitan capital city of
Buenos Aires, or the windswept and
spectacular scenery of Patagonia,
this land of contrasts offers a wealth
of possibilities to even the most
discerning traveller.
Argentina is the world’s eighth largest
nation, but with only 36 million people
– one third of whom live in and around
Buenos Aires – it is one of the least
densely populated countries in the
world. Because of its immense size it
has a variety of natural landscapes and
a dynamic cultural heritage to match.

To the south are the seemingly neverending open spaces of Patagonia and
the Pampas where you too can become
a gaucho on one of the many ranches
that encompass this vast land. High
in the Andes to the west is the world
class ski resort of Bariloche with luxury
accommodation and spectacular
scenery.
The further south you travel the
closer you get to South America’s
southernmost point. A land of wild
open spaces and breathtaking vistas,
glaciers and jagged mountain peaks,
Patagonia offers adventurous travellers
the chance to experience one of the last
true wildernesses. Whether you prefer
to marvel at the power and might of
humpback and killer whales or to track
the footprints of the elusive puma in
the foothills of the Andes, nature is all
around you.
Then at the end of the world is Tierra
del Fuego (Land of Fire) and the city of
Ushuaia, the gateway to Antarctica.
A land of immense contrasts and
breathtaking beauty, the trip of a
lifetime awaits you in Argentina each
and every time.

Home of the sultry tango, it is known
as the Paris of Latin America, and
deservedly so. With an atmosphere
more European than South American,
this vibrant city of 13 million boasts
bustling streets, grand avenues,
atmospheric cafes and stylish
restaurants.
Whether you prefer to relax in this city
of romance, or dance the night away to
the tango, Buenos Aires delivers a truly
memorable experience. The city is an
enthralling mix of faded architectural
glories and modern architecture
and boasts one of the most dramatic
cemeteries in all Latin America.
Good time to visit – February to June

Visit the magnificent Colón Theatre
and be sure to take in a tango show in
the very city that inspired it. Argentine
cuisine is renowned for its world class
meats and wines, and with a myriad of
different restaurants you will be spoilt
for choice. Of course, you can stay in
Buenos Aires in one of the many fine
hotels that cater to every taste, to make
this an unforgettable city destination.
Buenos Aires is also the best place to
start your adventure in Argentina and

Further south in the Province of
Misiones are the splendid church ruins
of the famous Jesuit missions who first
arrived here in the 16th century.
Stretching almost 3 km along the river
of the same name the spectacular
Iguazú Falls carry one of the largest
volumes of water in the world.
Made up of some 275 individual
cascades these beautiful Falls will take
a full day to explore along the steel
walkways, which wind through and
over the tumbling waters. One part
of this enormous waterfall is a single
plunge deep into a gorge known as the
Garganta del Diablo or “Devil’s Throat”.

cobbled streets and peruse through its
various antique shops, plazas, bars, and
restaurants.
For a more extensive stay there are
lovely hotels located right in the historic
quarter and also on the town’s fringes
where pine trees and farmsteads dot

Unlike the rest of Argentina, which is
primarily of European origin, the people

food and wine in the country combine

There’s an excellent range of hotels as
well as superb seafood restaurants and

Whether you prefer to experience the excitement that is
Rio de Janeiro, or escape to one of the thousands of top class
beaches, Brazil is a feast for the senses – a whole novo mundo
waiting to be discovered...
The fifth largest country in the world,
Brazil is a land of colourful people and
landscapes. A land that has forever
captivated the imagination, Brazil is an
immense country of astonishing raw
natural beauty.
With a landmass greater than that
of the contiguous United States and
a population of nearly 200 million,
it is also the largest country in Latin
America. Yet there are still huge
swathes of pure wilderness untouched
by the hand of Man.
Rio de Janeiro, one of the great cities of
the world is blessed with breathtaking
views over Guanabara Bay, Sugar
Loaf mountain, all overseen by the
magnificent Christ the Redeemer statue
sitting atop Corcovado.
Travelling north we find ourselves in
the exotic and mysterious Amazon
rainforest. It is home to the most
diverse range of flora and fauna on
the planet and of course the mighty
Amazon River, the lifeblood of the
forest. Moving away to Brazil’s long
coastline there are some spectacular
sights to be enjoyed.

The Northeast of the country and the
Atlantic coast is where you will find
some of the finest beaches in the world.
Stretching along for hundreds of miles
the beaches around Salvador, Recife and
Fortaleza offer sun, sea and sand with
an exotic and exciting mix of African
and Brazilian cultures. Big, bold and
beautiful Brazil is a country of mythical
proportions.
With the magnificent Christ the
Redeemer atop Corcovado gazing
overthe city, the azure sea below
and jungle-clad mountains in the
background, the views of the Cidade
Maravilhosa (Marvellous City) are
little short of breathtaking. Come to Rio
and experience one of South America’s
most vibrant and stunningly beautiful
cities.
Good time to visit: all year round
At its heart, Rio is truly a beach city with
some of the most famous stretches of
sand in the world such as Ipanema and
Copacabana. You can spend the day
here and enjoy the sun and the warm
tropical waters, and with excellent
nightlife on offer and a huge variety
of bars, restaurants and clubs there is
something to suit all tastes.
Here you can feel the energy in a riot
of colour and festivity and join in
on the party at the annual Carnaval
celebrations. Or if you are looking for
something a little more refined, a night

bay and the magnificent Sugar

is a must. Just south of the city lies
Paratí, among the prettiest and

in Brazil.
The town is also a great base
to explore the Costa Verde’s
islands and beaches. And
to the east lies Buziós,
“Brazil’s St. Tropez”,
a place of great natural
beauty, it is the place to
see and be seen. And
finally to the north lies
Ouro Preto with its beautiful

adventure ahead, either by land or
by yacht. To the south are the Iguazú
Falls, an awe-inspiring demonstration
of nature’s power carrying the largest

the largest wetland in the world and
the best place on the continent to view

Savour this new and exciting destination by relaxing on tropical white sand
beaches, watching amazing displays of the martial art capoeira in the cobbled
streets of Salvador or join in on one of the most exciting Carnaval celebrations
in Brazil... the Northeast has a lot to offer.
Set in the magnificent All Saints Bay,
Salvador in the state of Bahía, has
an electric ambience you feel from
the moment you arrive. Brazil’s first
capital (from 1549 to 1763), it is full of
beautifully preserved colonial buildings
and has a vibrant cultural and artistic
scene.
The city is a tantalising mix of what you
expect from Brazil and a vibrancy that
is unmistakably African. The martial art
of capoeira is a sight to behold as it is
practised everywhere from the streets
and squares to the beachfront and
all along the palm-fringed coastline.
Eating out is one of the many pleasures
the Northeast has to offer, and the
fresh local cuisine comida baiana is
deservedly famous.
To the north lie spectacular white
sand beaches around Fortaleza and
the historic colonial city of Olinda that
merges every year with neighbouring
Recife for one of the most exciting
Carnaval celebrations on the continent.
Meanwhile, off the coast lie the remote
and spectacular islands of Fernando
de Noronha. Once visited by Charles
Darwin, it is a haven for a wealth
of marine life and the islands are
deservedly considered to be one of the
great diving locations on the planet.
This exotic, sun-kissed area of Brazil
offers yet another side to this dynamic
and exciting country.
The Pantanal

The Pantanal is a vast expanse of
wetland wilderness where you can take
a safari tour to track jaguars, search
for the mighty anaconda, and view
caimans and colourful macaws. A true
wildlife wonderland, the Pantanal
offers the trip of a lifetime in the heart
of Brazil.
Good time to visit: April to October
Covering a staggering 140,000 sq. km
(almost twice the size of Ireland), the
Pantanal is the world’s largest wetland.
It is home to South America’s largest
concentration of animal species with a
variety comparable to that of eastern
Africa, while also nurturing the world’s
richest collection of aquatic plants.
Jaguars, spectacled caimans, giant river
otters, tapirs, monkeys and anacondas
are just some of the dynamic animal
species in this largely unexplored area
of Brazil.
It also offers bird-watchers a true
feast for the senses as the area is truly
teaming with a myriad of exotic species.
This huge swathe of land is beneath
several feet of water as several huge
rivers flood the area each year and
makes for excellent excursions by canoe
or on horseback.
Meanwhile the dry season affords
excellent opportunities to view wildlife
on guided excursions by bike or jeep.
Here you can stay in a traditional lodge
or pousada, but with all the
luxuries you come to expect from
a safari tour and where you can
feel nature’s wonder with the
unique sights and sounds of this
amazingly diverse landscape all
around you.
With good connections from
Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo the
Pantanal is easily reached and an
absolute must see for nature lovers.

Then it’s off to Manaus, once the richest
city in the Americas. Back during the
golden age of the rubber boom
in the 1800s the city was
known as the Heart of the
Amazon or City of the Forest,
and not much has altered
this recognition. Half the
population of the Amazon
lives in this hot, exotic port
city so there’s lots to see
and do. From exploring the
bustling markets, to a trip
to the famous Teatro Amazonas, where every piece of
stone was imported from
Europe over 150 years ago.
Day 1
Brazil
Nearly all flights to Manaus, the
gateway to the Amazon, go via Brasilia
which is one of the most extraordinary
achievements of the modern age.
The entire city was completed back in
1960 in just 4 years and from there on
in was heralded as Brazil’s sparkling
new modernist capital city. Brazilian
architect Oscar Niemeyer’s vision of
a utopian society was realized in the
shape of a bird and which has since
morphed into one of the nation’s
biggest cities. On a guided tour you can
explore the vast open boulevards and
spectacular modern political buildings,
squares and main cathedral.

If variety is what you are looking for then look no further
than Chile, land of fire and ice. Stretching along 4000km
of the Pacific coast of South America, this country has a range
of climates and landscapes that will take your breath away.
Chile
Land of Fire and Ice
17 million
Spectacular volcanoes and glacial rivers
dot Chile’s beautiful lake district
Set on a wide plain near the
foot of the Andes, the city of
Santiago is set in a spectacular
location. This bustling city of 5 million
people is your gateway to Chile and
the surrounding area offering a wide
selection of activities in beautiful
countryside.
Few countries can match the
astounding contrasts of scenery,
ranging from the driest desert in the
world to the immense ice fields and
glaciers of the south. Towering over
it all is the long spine of the Andes,
punctuated by colossal peaks and
smouldering volcanoes.
Chile is also one of the safest and most
affluent countries in South America.
It has a seemingly endless number of
outdoor activities, whether it is jeep
rides, bird-watching, skiing, horse
trekking, wine tours, hiking, volcano
climbing, sea kayaking, white-water
rafting or fly-fishing.
One of the most extraordinary looking
countries in the world, Chile is a
geographical oddity offering a huge
range of amazing landscapes, climates
and peoples ranging from the dry and
arid Atacama Desert in the north to the
immense glaciers of Patagonia.
From its capital Santiago at the foot
of the Andes you can ski some of the
best slopes on the continent or explore
Chile’s world famous vineyards.
Spread between these extremes is a
kaleidoscope of panoramas, taking in
sun-baked scrubland, lush vineyards
and orchards, virgin temperate
rainforest, dramatic fjords and wild
Patagonian steppes.
To the north lies the strikingly beautiful
Atacama Desert, the driest place on the
planet with an astounding variety of
moonscapes to be enjoyed. Although
some areas have never seen a drop of
rain others contain amazing wildlife.
Travelling south to the Lake District
around Puerto Montt, you can explore
Whilst in historic Santiago, you can
experience the lively music scene,
museums, and a huge range of
restaurants and cafes. Close by, skiers
and snowboarders can take advantage
of the four world-class ski areas.
the forests, lakes, fjords and spectacular
volcanoes in the area. But no trip to
Chile would be complete without a visit
to the magnificent
Torres del Paine National Park.
Multi-day trips are best spent at the
world famous Portillo resort near
the Argentinean border just to the
north of Santiago. From here you can
traverse the Andes into Argentina and
explore Aconcagua Provincial Park and
marvel at the highest mountain in the
Western Hemisphere – Cerro Aconcagua
(6960m).
Located in the very south of Patagonia,
these soaring towers of rock and ice are
also home to guanacos, condors and
the stealthy and elusive Andean puma.
This land of immense natural beauty is
perfect if you are looking for adventure
and the great outdoors.
A geographical oddity offering a
huge range of amazing landscapes,
climates and peoples.
Old meets new in cosmopolitan Santiago.
There is more top class skiing to be
had on the Argentinean side of the
border as well as spectacular mountain
scenery, dotted with dramatic volcanic
peaks. And after all this high altitude
adventure make time to sample Chile’s
world famous vineyards with a wine
tour and then relax on a day trip at
Chile’s most popular coastal resort Viña
del Mar. All of this can be experienced
within close proximity to Santiago.

You can reach the desert by flying to
Calama and then travel by road to San
Pedro. Located deep in the heart of the
desert this charming oasis town makes
for an ideal base to explore the area.
Some of the planet’s most provocative
landscapes ring San Pedro, enticing
thousands of tourists a year to its dusty
little heart.
One of the most unusual landscapes
and one of the country’s highlights is
the altiplano with its dazzling lakes, salt
flats and volcanoes.
The largest salt flat in the country lies
just to the south of San Pedro and is
home to a large colony of flamingos.
Making for an unforgettable early
morning excursion is a visit to the
famous El Tatio geysers, that lie to the
north and the aptly named desertscape
of Valle de la Luna (Valley of the
Moon). Best seen at sunset, the valley is
transformed into a spellbinding palette
of golds and reds, making for a magical
end to a day in the desert.
The area is surprisingly abundant in
wildlife with thousands of llamas and
alpacas, vicuñas, flamingos and condors,
offering a wonderful natural spectacle
at high altitude.

Lake Titicaca
At an altitude of over 3,800m (the
highest navigable lake in the world)
a visit to Lake Titicaca and a boat trip
to its unique floating islands is a must.
Whilst there, visit the pre-Inca tribe
of the Uros, who have lived on these
waters for over a thousand years.

Peru
Venture into the Peruvian jungle
and up into the Andes and the world
famous Machu Picchu. This incredible
site can be reached by train through
spectacular mountain valleys and also
by hiking the famous Inca trail as you
camp along the way.
Lake Titicaca
Good time to visit: April to September
Peru and Bolivia share the lake, which
is 3,500 square miles (9000 km2),
and about 850 feet (250 m) deep in
the centre. There are about forty of
these floating islands which are made
and re-made from the totora reed
which provide shelter, sustenance and
transportation for their residents, the
Uros tribe.
Yet in end, the Uros, with their basic
reed homes, outlasted the mighty
Incas with their huge stone temples
and mountaintop enclaves. Come
and experience this unique culture
for yourself and witness the splendid
colours of this natural marvel atop
South America’s magnificent Andes
Mountains.

The Uros islands lie among stands of
reeds in shallow water at the western
end close to the Peruvian port of
Puno and have been here for around
a thousand years, which actually predates the Inca civilization. According
to their legends they existed before
the sun, when the earth was still dark
and cold. Because of their simple and
precarious lifestyle, the Incas thought
them worth little and accordingly
taxed them very little, allowing them to
live their simple lives undisturbed for
centuries.

Many countries claim to encompass everything you could desire
in a destination: towering snow-capped peaks, verdant tropical forests,
exuberant citylife, spectacular beaches and balmy weather all year-round.
Yet few places truly deliver on all these as much as Venezuela.
Tambopata-Candamo Reserve
Lake Titicaca
For those with a sense of adventure
and looking for something different.
Good time to visit: April to September
On the banks of Peru’s Madre de Dios
River, deep in the Amazon rainforest
is the Tambopata-Candamo Reserve.
You can discover the amazing flora and
fauna of this private 10,000-hectare
reserve when you stay at the awardwinning Inkaterra Jungle Lodge.
A real microcosm of the South American
continent, this country of 26 million
spirited people is waiting to be
discovered. For those with a sense of
adventure and looking for something
different Venezuela is the place to go.
There are 8km of trails winding through
the jungle that surrounds the lodge and
the dramatic Canopy Walks take visitors
on a thrilling journey high above the
rainforest. Witness a multitude of
tropical birds at dawn and then later
board a dugout canoe for a paddle
across the still waters of Lake Sandoval.
Or perhaps board a small boat to visit
Monkey Island, a private sanctuary
housing six species of monkey.
Caracas, the nation’s capital, is also its
largest and is a modern, heaving city
of 6 million. Set in the deep into the
valley of the same name the city is the
gateway to this amazing country.
A short flight away to the north is
the protected nature reserve of Los
Roques. Consisting of 350 islands this
amazing archipelago strewn across the
aquamarine waters of the Caribbean is
the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The islands contain no high-rise
developments and so all the hotels
are more like small beachfront B & B’s
within walking distance of the only
settlement, Los Roques village.

If however, you’re looking for something
more lively, look no further than Isla
Margarita, located east of Caracas. The
most popular destination in Venezuela,
the island offer great bars and
restaurants as well as the all important
stretches of pristine, golden beaches.
Both beach resorts can be reached from
Caracas, which is serviced with regular

República de Costa Rica
Full of adventure, crammed with amazing landscapes
and captivating peoples, the only thing you should ask
yourself is why you haven’t gone before?
www.nuevomundo.ie
Spanish
With 4 percent of the earth’s wildlife
species, vast tracts of tropical rain
forest, and live volcanoes, this former
backpacker’s haven in Central America
offers a fantastic range of hotels and
lodges to suit even the most discerning
traveller. Now this tiny country’s
treasures are being steadily discovered
by the rest of world.
Famous not only for its natural diversity,
Costa Rica is also Latin America’s oldest
republic, making it one of the safest
destinations in the western hemisphere,
not to mention the birthplace of
ecotourism and responsible travel.
After touching down into San José, the
nation’s capital and home to a third of
the population, you can get ready to see
one of the country’s great highlights.
Lying just north of the city are the
magnificent Poás and Arenal volcanoes
offering a dazzling display of nature’s
raw power and beauty.
To the north are the most popular areas
of Alajuela and Northern Guanacaste
famed as one of the last regions of
virgin rainforest. The area is full of
exotic macaws, Technicolor frogs and

doe-faced sloths, which then lead down
to pristine stretches of white Pacific
sand. Pure paradise!
As you move southwards again, but
this time along the coast, you will
find yourself in the Nicoya Peninsula
and Quepos. And after all that
jungle trekking and volcano watching, there’s no better place to
relax and enjoy the area’s lovely
beaches in one of the many ecofriendly luxury resorts that dot
the coastline.
Finally, what better way to end
your trip than to gaze in wonder at
the seasonal beaching of the turtles
on the Caribbean side at Tortuguero.
This part of the country is more akin
to the dense and verdant rainforests of
the Amazon, but has the advantage of
being relatively easily reached overland.
What better way to end your stay than
a final night in the company of these
beautiful prehistoric creatures beneath
a star-filled tropical sky and the sound
of Caribbean waves lapping against a
sandy shore.

Finding paradise. Beaches off the beaten track...
For guaranteed good weather at any
time of year, then Bahia is for you.
Exotic, intoxicating and full of things
to do, this tropical coastline is only a
short flight north from Rio or Sao Paulo.
Fantastic luxury hotels and intriguing
villages and people, Trancoso and Porto
Seguro are fast becoming recognised by
international visitors, yet still hold onto
everything that makes Brazil special.
Even closer lies Choroní, a charming
village 3hrs drive from Caracas, and a
world away from the hustle and bustle.
Beautiful beaches, colonial architecture,
and fantastic birdwatching will keep
you fascinated.
For an island escape, Fernando de
Nornonha, is the perfect place. This
archipelago, once visited by Charles
Darwin, is still one of the most pristine
places on the planet and offers visitors
incredible close-up encounters with
spectacular marine life. A short flight
from Recife, Fernando de Noronha
still offers the ultimate escape from
civilization.
When thinking of Peru, beaches
are not the first thing to spring to
mind. However there are some great
options from December to February
(beach season). El Silencio Beach and
Caballeros Beach are the ideal place
to unwind after hiking the Andes or
traversing the Amazon. And if surfing is
your sport and some of the best seafood
in the world is to your taste, then look
no further.
Most visitors to Brazil stay in and
around Rio, but there is so much more
to discover along its colossal coastline.
South of Rio is the state of Santa
Catarina, Brazil’s surfers paradise.
It also has one the most unspoilt
coastlines in the continent with
spectacular windswept beaches and
forested mountains that spread along
the Atlantic coast.

there are real gems to be found (see

Cruise Patagonia
Take to the oceans and see the spectacular coasts of South America.
Part of what makes this cruise special
is the intimacy of a smaller ship and its
solitary route that takes passengers to
places in Tierra del Fuego that few have
a chance to see, travelling through one
of the most remote and beautiful
places on the planet.
Passengers are shuttled to shore via
zodiacs (motorized inflatable boats)
for two daily excursions. Of course
no cruise would be complete without
several land stops. These can include
visits to elephant seal rookeries, and
impressive beaver dams, glaciers or
even horseback rides. The onboard
bilingual guides offer fascinating daily
talks about the region’s flora, fauna,
history, and geology.
The trip can be done as a 7-night/8-day
round-trip journey; a 4-night one-way
from Punta Arenas; or a 3-night oneway journey from Ushuaia. The one-way
trips are the most popular as it leaves
you at a new destination to explore.

Sailing at the end of the world

brochure or other descriptive material, any airline or other ticket issued,
the terms and conditions of any suppliers of services and the itinerary
issued by the Organiser.

occurrence of such incidents.

for the provision of an unsuitable holiday for a disabled person where
disclosure of the disability has not been made to the Retailer or to the
Organiser where the booking has been made directly with the Organiser.
The Organiser reserves the right to decline to provide a holiday for a
disabled person where in the Organiser’s opinion that holiday would be
inconsistent with the special needs of a disabled person.
3. Special requests
Special requests (e.g. ground floor accommodation, sea-view, etc.)
shall be communicated by the Consumer in writing to the Organiser
or Retailer at the time of making the booking. The Organiser shall use
reasonable endeavours to fulfil such requests. The granting of such
requests is the sole responsibility of the relevant supplier. No liability
shall attach to the Organiser for failure to comply with a special request
and such requests do not form part of the contract.
4. Price variation

exchange rates current and appropriate at the time of publication.
If any of these vary the cost of the holiday may increase or decrease.
Accordingly any such increase/decrease must be paid by or refunded
to the Consumer; however no variations shall be applied where their
combined effect would result in an increase/decrease of less than 2%
of the cost of the holiday. During the period of twenty days prior to
departure date, the price specified in the contract shall not be changed
by the Organiser.
5. The consumer’s responsibilities
(a) The Consumer shall check all travel documentation immediately

incorrect or has a query in relation to its contents, he shall forthwith
notify the Retailer or the Organiser of his concern and the Organiser
shall respond as soon as possible.
(b) The Consumer is solely responsible for ensuring that he presents
himself at the point of departure in sufficient time prior so the
designated departure time to complete check-in/embarkation
requirements. If the Consumer arrives after the check-in time stipulated
in the travel documentation provided to the Consumer, the Organiser
shall not be obliged to carry the Consumer and shall be entitled to treat
the holiday as having been cancelled by the Consumer.
(c) The Consumer is restricted by regulation of carriers and executive
authorities with regard to the weight, type and contents of baggage
which he may take on board the craft and/or vehicles which will be
used in connection with the holiday. The Consumer shall be responsible
for ascertaining any limitations which apply in this regard and shall
not present himself at the port of departure with any prohibited item
in his luggage or on his person or with items which exceed weight or
dimension restrictions applicable.
(d) The Consumer hereby agrees that he shall abide by all instructions
or directions given by a member of the Organiser’s staff or its agent or
any crew member of carrier’s craft or vehicle used in connection with
the holiday and hereby agrees to indemnify the Organiser against any
lost or injury suffered or incurred by any other person as a consequence
of the Consumer’s failure to act in accordance with any such direction
or instruction.
(e) It is also the sole responsibility of the Consumer to ensure that he
is in possession of all travel documentation i.e. passports, visas (where
relevant) and that same are in order. The Consumer hereby agrees to
indemnify the Organiser for any costs incurred by the Organiser as a
consequence of the Consumer being denied transportation or entry as a
consequence of the Consumer failing to have their travel documentation
or same not being in order. ANY TRAVEL TO OR VIA THE USA REQUIRES A
SEPARATE, MACHINE-READABLE PASSPORT FOR EVERY MEMBER OF THE
PARTY INCLUDING INFANTS.
6. Liability
The Organiser shall not be liable for any damage caused to the Consumer
by the failure to perform the contract or the improper performance of the
contract where the failure or the improper performance is due neither to
any fault of the Organiser or Retailer acting on the Organiser’s behalf nor
to that of another supplier of services because:
(a) the failures which occur in the performance of the contract are
attributable to the Consumer;
(b) such failures are attributable to a third party unconnected with
the provision of the services contracted for and are unforeseeable or
unavoidable; or
(c) such failures are due to (i) unusual and unforeseeable circumstances
beyond the control of the Organiser, the Retailer acting on his behalf or
other supplier of services, the consequences of which could not have been
avoided, even if all due care had been exercised; or (ii) an event which the
Organiser, the Retailer acting on his behalf or the supplier of the services,
even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. In the case of damage
other than death or personal injury or damage caused by defamation or
by the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Organiser the amount
of compensation which will be paid to the Consumer will be limited to,
in the case of an adult an amount equal to double the inclusive price of
the holiday to the adult concerned and in the case of a minor an amount
equal to the inclusive price of the holiday to the minor concerned. The
Organiser’s liability will not exceed any limitation applicable under any
international convention governing or relating to the provision of the
service complained of in the place where they are performed or due to
be performed, even if that convention has not been ratified or applied in
the Republic of Ireland. For international transport by air the provisions
of the Warsaw Convention 1929 (as amended) relating to the carriage of
passengers and their luggage by air or the EU Regulation on Air Carrier
Liability for travel by air, may apply throughout the flight and during
boarding and disembarkation. For international transport by water the
provisions of the Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers
and their luggage by sea, 1974 applies. Pursuant so these Conventions and
the Regulation, the Organiser’s liability is limited or excluded for death,
personal injury, loss of or damage to luggage, and special provision is
made for valuables. A copy of the conditions of carriage applicable to the
holiday and the Convention referred to above can be supplied on request.
In the event of any liability on the part of the Organiser for injury, illness
or death, no payment will be made unless the following conditions are
complied with: (I) the Consumer must advise the Organiser in relation
to the injury or illness while the Consumer is at the resort and must also
write to the Organiser within three months of the completion of the
holiday; (II) the Consumer must transfer any rights that the Consumer
has in respect of such injury, illness or death against any person to the
Organiser; (III) the Consumer must co-operate fully with the Organiser to
enable the Organiser or its insurers to enforce such rights.
7. Complaints
(a) Without prejudice to the Consumer’s rights under Clause 7(b) below,
if the Consumer wishes to make a complaint in relation to a holiday,
he must immediately inform the Organiser’s representative at the
location where the Consumer is when the complaint arises and shall
if the Organiser requires, complete a form setting out the detail of
the Consumer’s complaint. If the Consumer fails to comply with such
requirement, the Organiser shall be entitled to recover the cost from
the Consumer of any additional expense incurred by it in carrying out
subsequent investigation of a complaint, which is found to be unjustified.
(b) The Consumer shall be obliged to notify the Organiser in writing of
any complaint not later than 28 days after his return to the point of
departure or termination of the holiday whichever is the earlier and no
complaint received thereafter shall be entertained.
8. Arbitration
Any dispute or difference of any kind whatsoever which arises or occurs
between any of the parties hereto in relation to anything or matter
arising under, out of or in connection with the contract and/or the
holiday connected to this contract shall be referred to arbitration under
the Arbitration Rules of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators - Irish
Branch. Neither party has a right of Appeal except to the High Court on
a point of law. Alternatively, claims for less than the jurisdiction of the
District Court Small Claims Procedure per booking form may be pursued
through the District Court Small Claims Procedure. All claims in excess
of the jurisdiction of the District Court Small Claims Procedure shall be
referred to arbitration.

date of departure or if the contract is made later than 13 weeks before the
scheduled date of departure, it must be paid for in full on the signing of
the Booking Form. If it is not paid by that date, the Organiser shall have
the option to cancel the holiday. If the Organiser exercises that option or if
the Consumer cancels the holiday (which cancellation must be notified in
writing to the Organiser) the following cancellation charges are payable,
per party, by the Consumer: More than 84 days before the departure
date any deposits will be forfeited. Within 84 - 42 days of departure at
least 50% of the cost of the holiday will be forfeited. Within 41 - 22 days of
departure at least 75% of the cost of the holiday will be forfeited. Within
21 days of departure 100% of the cost of the holiday will be forfeited.

refundable.
11. Substitution
(a) Where the Consumer is prevented from proceeding with the holiday,
he may transfer his booking, having first given the Organiser or Retailer
a minimum 6 weeks notice in writing of his intention to do so before the
departure date. The transferee of the Consumer must sign a Booking Form
and comply with any other requirements of the Organiser applicable
to the holiday. (b) If airline tickets, cruise or other documents have been
issued the organiser will have no choice but to charge the amendment
or cancellation fees imposed by the airline or cruise company in order
to process the name change. (c) Insurance is not transferable. (d) In
accordance with the terms of Clause 1(a) the Consumer who transfers a
holiday booking and the transferee should be aware that some suppliers,
such as carriers, impose cancellation fees and apply restrictions which are
not within the control of the Organiser and for which the Organiser shall
not be held liable. Substitution fees will apply.
12. Alteration by the consumer
If after acceptance by the Organiser a Consumer wishes to alter a holiday,
the Organiser may do so at its discretion if practicable. A request for
alteration must be made by the Consumer in writing to the Retailer (who
shall forward same to the Organiser). Where the booking has been made
directly with the Organiser the alteration request must be accompanied by
a payment of €50 per person, which is non-refundable. Where the nature
of the alteration sought by the consumer requires the organiser to amend
two or more arrangements a further charge will be levied which will be
advised when the change is requested. No changes are permitted within
35 days of departure. If the alteration is impracticable the original holiday
arrangement shall continue to apply. No alteration by the consumer shall
be effective until such time as the Organiser issues written confirmation of
acceptance of such alteration and the contract between the Organiser and
the Consumer shall be thereby amended to include such alteration. If only
some of the Consumers on the same booking request a change, which is
found to be practicable, a price adjustment for all Consumers on the same
booking may be payable and must be discharged on the date shown in the
Organiser’s written confirmation of such change. If default is made by the
Consumer in complying with the foregoing requirements, the Organiser
shall have the right to cancel the holiday in accordance with Clause 10 and
the cancellation charges as provided for in Clause 10 are payable by the
Consumer. Once travel has commenced, no changes or alterations may be
made by the Consumer and no refunds shall be made in respect of flights
or other travel arrangements, which are not availed of.
13. Accommodation on request
When accommodation is on request and if the Organiser is unable
to obtain the particular accommodation requested by the Consumer,
the Organiser shall take all reasonable steps to make a comparable
alternative available to the Consumer. If the accommodation requested
by the Consumer cannot be confirmed or an alternative offered or if the
alternative offered is not acceptable to the Consumer, the Consumer
shall be entitled to a refund of all monies paid to the Organiser less a €25
administration charge.

compensation or otherwise for any loss arising as a consequence of the
said curtailment, alteration, extension or cancellation of the holiday.
(c) A minimum number of bookings are required for a programme of
holidays. The Organiser’s obligation to provide that programme shall be

number has that number reduced by reason of cancellations or transfers
by the Consumers or otherwise, the Organiser shall be entitled to cancel
or curtail the relevant programme at any time up to 4 weeks prior to the
departure date and the Consumer shall not be entitled to make a claim
for loss arising as a consequence of cancellation or curtailment in these
circumstances. The Organiser shall notify the Consumer within seven
days of any cancellation or curtailment necessitated by the foregoing
circumstances.

or in the type of accommodation offered, or some other change which
fundamentally alters the holiday, the Consumer shall be entitled to
withdraw from the contract without penalty or to accept the alteration to
the contract. (ii) The Consumer shall inform the Organiser or the Retailer

to departure the Consumer is entitled (a) to take a replacement package

Organiser the difference in price between that of the package purchased
and the replacement package, as may be offered by the Organiser; or (c)
to have repaid as soon as possible all the monies paid under the contract.
(iv) In the event that the offer of an alternative holiday is not accepted
