En Pangea Routes Today we think that those who are used to traveling have to know when to stop, and now it seems that it is that time.
In these days, when many of us have to stay at home, haunted by doubts, living with uncertainty, we wanted to contact you to send you a hug - virtual, but affectionate - and update you on our situation and our daily life. .
As many of you already know, we have canceled our trips, including Easter routes, and all activities scheduled for March and April. It has not been easy, but we have made this decision out of responsibility and thinking about your health, that of the entire Rutas Pangea team and also that of the people who live in the places where we were going to develop our trips, our suppliers and collaborators. : drivers, hotels, restaurants, local guides…
These are difficult times for all of us who are dedicated to tourism, that is why with some of our suppliers, such as our hotel in Santo Domingo de Silos in Burgos or the one in Setúbal in Portugal, we have already reached an agreement not to cancel, we will reschedule Sad hill this fall and Setúbal will be our destination for Easter 2021. We have practically finished the returns of all the people who were registered.
For all of you who have a trip booked with us, we want to express our absolute flexibility, whether you want to cancel without any cost or if you want to change that reservation for another date, while the current situation with the coronavirus lasts. Furthermore, from the start of the activities, we will be able to offer you cancellation insurance that includes free withdrawal, for those who wish to contract it.
Our 10% discount of summer trips changes its end date, from April 15 to May 15. Registration is still open and we continue working to guarantee that all trips can be carried out in the best conditions.
We maintain, for now, our program as it is, with the intention of resuming trips after the May 1st long weekend. As has happened at this time, we will make the decisions that are necessary, as determined by the authorities, to guarantee the protection of the health of all people. We will keep this page updated with appropriate date changes if necessary.
The current moment presents us with a dark, complicated panorama. These are certainly tough days for everyone and the tourism sector will be one of the most affected. At Rutas Pangea we have been offering you cycling and hiking trips since 1993. We were born in the middle of a crisis and we have had to overcome others. We know that this moment will also pass and we will keep our desire to continue traveling intact, we will love to have you again. Of course, these trips must wait until the virus is under control, but that will happen sooner or later.
At Rutas Pangea we are in good health and we hope that all of you are well too, now that is the most important thing.
We want to thank you for the numerous supports received, the messages of love, that many of you have chosen to transfer your reservations for other trips, that some of you have sent us messages such as: “"Don't give me a refund, what I want is for you to continue organizing trips like the ones you do.", it is clear that The main value of Rutas Pangea is the people who travel with us, who participate in our activities..
Be well, enjoy life, stay in touch, even if it is through email or networks, in these days when social distancing is requested and remember that soon, very soon, we will put our boots back on, we will get back on the saddle of our bikes and we will go out to enjoy the sun, to feel the wind on our faces, to enjoy the company and the outdoors. That will be the time to meet again
We are already thinking about autumn and 2021, any travel proposal or recommendation is always welcome.
To resolve any questions we are at your disposal, you can contact us by email or phone: Juan (+34 659 95 54 39) or Chus (+34 659 95 54 37)
Hugs from the Rutas Pangea team.
