Endless Turns Family and Friends,

We hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy during these challenging times. We wanted to provide you with an update on the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and let you know we are doing everything possible to minimize your risk while traveling, here in the United States and abroad.

We realize there is a lot of uncertainty at the moment with the ongoing pandemic and have modified our cancellation policy for NEW travel reservations made until July 1, 2021 to reflect the current situation.  This date will be adjusted accordingly if need be.

Making a NEW booking with us ensures that 100% of your trip payment will be applied towards new travel dates, if travel is not possible to your destination (s) within the United States or abroad for your initial reserved travel dates.  This will be credit you have with Endless Turns, so you do not need to worry about forfeiting any deposits nor final trip payments that have been made.

Examples of this would be any travel bans that prohibit you from departing your home city or country or arriving at your final destination (domestically and abroad) or if you become ill due to the virus and need to self-quarantine or seek medical treatment.  For those traveling abroad, we will provide any updates that may impact your upcoming trip.

NEW South America Cultural Trip Reservations for 2021-22

For NEW South America Cultural Adventure trip reservations, we will change your trip dates if need be, for up to 6 months from your original travel dates in 2021 or 2022 if travel is prohibited (meaning borders are closed – either from your home country or the country where you will be traveling to).  If we do change your travel dates and travel bans are still in place at the time of your rescheduled dates, then we will work with you to postpone your trip out further.  This will be on a case-by-case basis.

• Cover your mouth/nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
• Use gloves and facial mask when grocery shopping or visiting public areas, where you will be in contact with other people.
