Hello.
Right. Firstly, pay whatever it costs in flights to get there, because Santa Martha was probably the best thing I did on my trip. Even better than that Catholic girl.
Flights to South America aren't cheap, unfortunately, but you can make up for it by the fact that the cost of living is very, very cheap.
£1000 should really last you for two months.
As far as jabs go, I THINK you'll need typhoid, hep a, an up to date tetanus, and yellow fever IF you're going to the Amazon part of Santa Martha.
I'm not a doctor though, so check with your GP.
You should also consider malaria tablets if you're going to the Amazon centre, but personally I wouldn't bother if you're just staying around the Tambillo centre.
Again, that's just my opinion.
If you send me a PM I can show you some photos from SM when I was there. |
