A statement about the earthquake in Chile - 01.03.10 11.30am
An earthquake measuring a magnitude of 8.8 occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning (27.02.10) in Chile. The epicentre of the quake was 115km (70 miles) north-east of Concepción and 325km south-west of Santiago. Other areas of Chile are unaffected. A state of emergency has been declared. As a result communications with Santiago in particular are extremely difficult and intermittent.
A senior member of Journey Latin America’s staff is currently in Santiago. She has made contact with all Journey Latin America clients located in Santiago and she is assisting them with their travel arrangements.
Journey Latin America can confirm that we have no clients in the area of Concepción.
Journey Latin America is in the process of contacting all affected passengers. We are liaising with our tour leaders and individual clients to discuss and rebook their ongoing travel arrangements. We are also in contact with our clients who are due to travel imminently to keep them abreast of the current situation and to discuss their own travel plans in more detail. Where people wish to do so, we will assist in amending their itineraries or travel dates.
We will continue to monitor the situation.
