TRIP INSURANCE

A journey of this nature is a financial investment. Therefore, we strongly recommend that all participants obtain short-term travelers insurance covering lost baggage, accident/life and trip cancellation. Trip cancellation insurance covers your losses on non refundable air and land costs for trips canceled due to personal or family illnesses and unforeseen documented emergencies. It also covers the cost of emergency evacuation from remote areas. The more expensive “Cancel for Any Reason” policies will also cover cancellation in certain cases of political unrest or civil emergencies. Check with your personal travel agent or with Travel Insured International (1-800-243-3174). This insurance only covers US citizens departing from the US. We suggest non-US citizens look for a local agent.
