OUR FIRST FOOD EXPERIENCE

The conditions stipulated in this document describe the rights and obligations between the passenger and MAPU [living in harmony].

Reservations can be processed in person, in writing (email), or via the website.

The reservation will be confirmed upon payment of a 50% deposit of the indicated amount. Balances must be paid or documented at the time of check-in. It will be included in the confirmation email. The advance deposit serves as a guarantee for both you and us, ensuring the reservation of your stay.

There are 2 possibilities to arrive in Futaleufu. International flights must land in Buenos Aires (Argentina)  or Santiago (Chile).

The easier way is to fly to Buenos Aires, spend a night there in this romantic latin city then take a second flight to Esquel. From Esquel it's a roll of 2 hours driving + border tramites. We can help you arrange a shuttle of renting a car + docs.

If you arrive in Santiago you'd have to take one more flight to Puerto Montt where you can choose either take a Jet Flight to Chaiten Aerodromo or arrive in Chaiten by car + ferry. From Chaiten its around 3 hours drive up to Futaleufu.

3.3 CANCELLATIONS BY MAPU

We reserve the right to cancel a workshop, experience, or package due to inadequate registrations that make the trip economically unviable to operate or due to legitimate concerns for the safety, health, or well-being of the participants. In such cases, we closely follow and adhere to travel advisories issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

If a workshop, experience, or package is canceled before departure, you will have the option of a full refund or a credit for a future workshop, experience, or package with MAPU Chile, equivalent to the amount paid in USD currency.

If we cancel a trip in progress, you will receive a proportional refund based on the number of days remaining. We are not responsible for any refunds of airfares, hotel accommodations, etc., purchased by the participant from third parties.

In the event that the instructor contracted to lead an activity, experience, or workshop is unable to attend due to illness or other circumstances beyond our control, a substitute of the same standard will be provided. If that is not possible, the workshop, experience, or package will be canceled, and the above provisions will take effect.

In exceptional situations or force majeure (medical emergencies, natural disasters, or unforeseen circumstances that compromise the safety or basic comfort of guests), MAPU may proceed with the cancellation of one or more reservations. In these situations, the establishment may consider the possibility of refunding or rescheduling reservations.

Please note that MAPU is located in an area considered remote and extreme.
