Santiago has been trained in wilderness first response and is prepared to deal with health emergencies. Please see the health matters section of our travel tips page. We take special care in boiling and treating the water used on the trip. We use iodine drops to insure safety even after prolonged boiling. Evacuation insurance is an option that is available through several travel insurance companies. Check with your travel agent or deal directly with Travelex Insurance.
