to pay any differences to the cost of the trek when paying the trek balance
upon arrival in Cusco. The actual cost of the trek permits / train tickets and
bus tickets is clearly marked on the respective tickets so it will be very
clear to our clients that an increase to any of the above costs has occurred.
