Frequently asked questions
Does Dexotic sell tickets for the Train to the Clouds and the Solar Train?
Yes. We're official representatives and an authorized sales point for the tourist trains of northern Argentina.
What documents do I need to take the trains?
In addition to the ticket we'll send you, your ID or passport, the same one used to issue the ticket, for children too. The operator checks your nationality and the fare paid against that document.
Can I change or cancel my train tickets?
The train operator's policy applies, as stated on your ticket and on the tour page.
How far in advance do I need to book? Can I book for today or tomorrow?
We recommend booking in advance, especially during Argentine winter holidays, Easter and long weekends. On the website you can book until 6 pm the day before, unless the tour page shows a different cutoff. To pay by bank transfer you need at least 1 day before the departure. For the same day or outside those hours, message us on WhatsApp and we will check availability.
How do I know if there is availability, and when is my booking confirmed?
It depends on the service, and the tour page tells you before you pay. Services with "Instant confirmation" are confirmed as soon as the payment goes through, and you get the voucher right away. For the rest, your booking is registered when you pay and we confirm it with the provider within a few hours, during business hours. For trains, the ticket is issued by the operator. If there were no availability, we offer you another date, another activity or a full refund. Services on request are booked on WhatsApp: we confirm availability first.
Can I change the date or the travelers, or modify my booking after paying?
Yes, message us on WhatsApp and we will take care of it. For shared group tours and packages, if you let us know 48 hours or more in advance, we change the date free of charge, subject to availability. For private tours and trips we review each case, and for trains the operator's policy applies.
What happens if the tour is canceled due to weather or force majeure?
First, we offer to reschedule it for another date. If you can't, we leave the date open so you can use it later, and if that doesn't work for you either, we refund what you paid.
What payment methods do you accept? Is there a discount depending on how I pay?
It depends on where you are paying from, and you choose it in your order. From Argentina: bank transfer or Mercado Pago, with a credit or debit card or account balance, and up to 3 interest-free installments. From abroad: PayPal, Wise or a card through Mercado Pago, and from Uruguay also Prex. Paying by bank transfer from an Argentine account gives you a discount: the tour page and the cart show the price with each method before you pay. We do not accept cash through the website.
Can I pay from another country or with a foreign card?
Yes. In your order, choose the country you are paying from and you will see the available methods: PayPal (in US dollars), Wise (in US dollars or euros) or a card through Mercado Pago. From Uruguay you can also pay with Prex. If your card is declined, try PayPal or Wise, or message us on WhatsApp.
What happens if I'm late?
There's little leeway, because the vehicle follows a route with other travelers. We'll try to contact you, but if you're not there on time, you may miss the service.
What language are the tours in? Can I request a guide in English or Portuguese?
Tours are in Spanish. English is available on request: let us know when you book. Portuguese is available only occasionally and must be requested in advance.
Can children come? Can I bring a baby? Do you have child seats?
Yes, children and babies can travel on shared group tours. If you need a baby seat, request it when you book and we'll install it. The minimum age for each activity is listed on its page.
Are tours suitable for seniors or people with reduced mobility?
Shared group tours are suitable for seniors; the effort level for each one is listed on the tour page. They're not suitable for people with reduced mobility, due to the type of vehicles.
Do I need to tell you about any health conditions?
Yes. When you book, let us know about any condition the guide should be aware of, such as heart or respiratory problems, pregnancy, or allergies. We use this only to organize the service.
Are tours canceled if it rains?
Generally not: tours run in the rain. During the rainy season, if a road is cut off by flooding and we can't get through, we'll let you know in advance. The forecast often shows rain in the mountains even when it doesn't actually rain, so don't let it scare you.
