    Mito, the person in charge of Lupita guided us! She dedicated time and effort to do an excellent job in recommending the best options in Mexico. You can tell that Lupita is interested in giving the best advice beyond the typical touristic. This is the added value that is so difficult to find in packaged services that do not personalize. A pleasure to have been served by Lupita/Mito and lucky for the clients who find him!

    Clare

    Asked on June 11th, 2024

    is there a single supplement if you pay in full now? Otherwise I would want to pay in instalments. However I am also considering combining this trip with another one in South America is there any discount if you book more than one trip.

    Payments
    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • LUPITA OVERLANDOperatorWritten June 2024

      There is no single supplement; the price remains the same whether you book together or separately. You will pay the same amount whether you pay all at once or in instalments. Regarding the discount for booking multiple tours, we will inform you as soon as possible.

    Payments
    Price / Availability
    • LUPITA OVERLANDOperatorWritten June 2024

      The deposit is 20%, and the deadline for paying the rest of the holiday is 2 months. For your case: Total due is US$5,000.00, due today is US$1,000.00, and the remaining $4,000.00 is due on 27 Sep 2024.

      Could you please give me the amount in pounds as we will be paying in sterling. Also is there a single person's discount?

    • R

      Ron

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      The £500 for single occupancy means we will each have a single room for the whole three weeks right? Or does it not include the camping, the three days in the tent? If you could clarify please. When is the latest we can pay the deposit if we want to go on the trip on December 1st 2024?

    • LUPITA OVERLANDOperatorWritten June 2024

      We don't offer single occupancy for this tour as it is a 'backpackers' edition, which includes multi-shared dorms for 6 nights. Our tours feature a mix of accommodations: 9 nights in hotels/cabins with double/twin rooms, 6 nights in hostels with multi-shared dorms, and 3 nights of camping. Tents are shared, typically 4 people per tent.

    • LUPITA OVERLANDOperatorWritten June 2024

      Deposits can be paid until 2 months before the departure date, per our terms and conditions. The closer to the departure date means full payment will be required when booking.
