      You will only need to pay the deposit if your travel date is more than 60 days away. However, if your trip is within 60 days, full payment will be required at the time of booking. You can see the deposit amount on the booking page when you're ready to book. If you and other travelers are paying separately, I can set up a separate inquiry while noting you are traveling together. Please confirm if you are within the age range of 18 to 35, as this is a youth tour.
