As the morning mist lifts between the peaks of the Andes, the sun bathes the ancient Inca city of Maccu Picchu in a magical glow. It would be a magnificent view, if only this text message weren't on your screen: House broken into, jewellery gone, please come back asap, love Sabine. The only positive in this emergency is our trip interruption insurance, which insures you against unforeseen events while travelling. If you have to interrupt, cut short or extend your trip, the insurance covers the costs of the remainder of your trip and the additional costs of returning home and accommodation.
