| Common sense health precautions: |
|
do not eat raw fruits or vegetables, ice, or food from small vendors unless advised to do so by your guide. Most cooked food from reputable restaurants or preserved food from stores is acceptable, however, check with your guide. All food served at the COAR cafeteria is washed and prepared hygienically. |
|
do not leave food in your luggage or anywhere in the guest house other than the kitchen containers provided for that purpose (bugs!) |
|
bring bug repellent in case flies or mosquitoes become annoying |
|
bring hand-sanitizers and disinfectant wipes for excursions |
|
check your shoes before putting them on (spiders and scorpions) |
|
COAR has a clinic and nurses on site nearly full time. If you feel sick in any way, alert your guide. |
