Introduction

Campos do Jordão GatewayCampos do Jordão is located at an altitude of 1,700 metres, and scientific research has shown its climate to be superior to that of Davos Platz in the Swiss Alps, as well as having a higher oxygen content than Chamonix, the famous French resort, thanks to the purity of its air.

Campos do Jordão has an advantage over Brazil's other climate resorts: its tropical mountain climate means the sun shines almost all year round.

The city is located in a valley, and its three main districts are Vila Abernessia (the resort's commercial and administrative centre), Vila Jaguaribe (part tourist and part residential) and Vila Capivari (the quintessential tourist village).

The latter is home to the best hotels and restaurants, patisseries and shopping centres, as well as luxurious residences reminiscent of Swiss chalets and imposing Norman-style manor houses.

Important notes

The information gathered below covers part of what is stated in our General Conditions. It is essential to read the entire document.

Cancellations, Transfers and Customer Cancellations

The CONTRACTED PARTY will refund the amount due to the Contractor, calculated on the total actually received by the Contracted Party, excluding the amount of the commission retained, which should be dealt with the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.

In the event of any of the mentioned hypotheses, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tourist package, in the following proportion:

  • When the cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the travel departure date: 10% (ten percent)
  • When the cancellation occurs 29 (twenty-nine) to 21 (twenty-one) days before the travel departure date: 15% (fifteen percent)
  • When the cancellation occurs 20 (twenty) to 01 (one) day before the travel departure date: 30% (thirty percent)
  • If the passenger does not show up at the time and place set for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five percent) will be charged

In addition to the fees and penalties described above, amounts already paid to suppliers for securing reservations, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, as the Contracted Party is only an intermediary in the hiring of tourist services, being in temporary possession of the amounts received, as it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, sea and road transport, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.

For both road and air excursions, date transfers or refunds for unused segments will not be allowed.

Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has started, the passenger who abandons it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for the services paid and not used.

However, if unaccompanied, judicial authorization from the Childhood and Youth Court will be necessary, all in accordance with articles 83 to 85 of the Child and Adolescent Statute - Law No. 8.069/90. The passenger can obtain more information about the necessary documentation from the Federal Police (www.dpf.gov.br).
