Booking Terms and Conditions – Cuilpilapan Miravalles
At Cuilpilapan Miravalles, we strive to offer safe, well-organized, and memorable experiences. Please read the following policies carefully before making your reservation, as by confirming your participation you agree to all the terms set forth below.
1. Customer Responsibility
By making a reservation, the client declares that they have read and understood the detailed information of each tour, including:
- Distance and duration of the route
- Level of difficulty
- Rates and specific conditions
The client is responsible for choosing the tour that best suits their physical condition and level of experience.
Physical condition: If the participant selects a tour that is not suitable for their physical capacity, our staff may deny participation for safety reasons. This measure aims to prevent accidents, injuries, or situations that may affect the group’s experience.
Medical conditions: If the participant suffers from any illness or medical condition (e.g., hypertension, asthma, diabetes, severe allergies, among others), it is their full responsibility to bring the necessary medication and inform the guide before starting the activity. Cuilpilapan Miravalles is not responsible for any medical complications resulting from failure to comply with this obligation.
By booking, the client agrees to participate at their own risk and acknowledges that outdoor activities involve exposure to natural factors beyond the company’s control.

In the case of rain or mild conditions that do not compromise safety, the tours will proceed as normal, as these are part of the natural environment of the experience.
