MEDICAL QUESTIONNAIRE
This medical questionnaire is an important way we try to create a safe journey for you. Your trip will entail traveling into areas where medical facilities are nonexistent, and evacuation may be delayed for several days.

Many of our travelers have had a variety of medical conditions and have experienced no problems during the trip. Nevertheless, we must be aware of these conditions prior to your departure. Therefore, it is very important that you be very complete and candid in providing us with the requested information. We endeavor to prevent medical problems in the field and it is critical that our medical trek leaders possess all relevant medical history to manage a medical emergency.
