HEALTH / VACCINATIONS:

• Delegates should be vaccinated appropriately
• Please bring all necessary medications you may need with you as well as epinephrine pen if you have known allergies
• Delegates should be aware this is intended to be a wilderness course in every sense of the word. The team will have limited access to medical care in the general area. This is not a packaged holiday and Wild Med Adventures cannot control mother nature. Should our plans be affected by floods, landslides, lightning storms, snow storms, earthquakes and the like, we will continue with alternate plans in true expedition spirit, affecting self rescues and problem solving along the way.

MEDICAL EVACUATION INSURANCE:

• Delegates should have personal insurance to cover any in-country medical examinations, treatment or rescue/evacuation from a remote area. We recommend Global Rescue, who can be contacted via their website and offer trip specific and year long coverage. This is a great insurance for those who plan to head out of country or take other adventure vacations.
