Nicaragua —



International Medical Relief will return to treat the indigenous Rama Indian Tribe in an isolated remote jungle lagoon that has never before had medical attention from the outside. These remote indigenous tribes face widespread malnutrition, inadequate water and sewage systems, and sporadic public health measures typical of impoverished nations. Enteritis and other diarrheal diseases are leading causes of death. Pneumonia, tetanus, and measles accounted for more than 10 percent of deaths in children under five. The team will be welcomed for a rare opportunity to work with the ancient Rama people and be a part of their tribal day-to-day life. Enjoy the culture of this blue jungle lagoon, once a famous hiding spot for pirates. The beautiful indigenous people are warm and friendly. Typically shy, they spend their time growing bananas, white cacao, hunting and fishing. Extend your stay for a boat trip to the famous Cays and lagoons or world class fishing trip.

Nicaragua's abundance of biologically significant and unique ecosystems contribute to its Mesoamerica's designation as a biodiversity hotspot. It is the land of lakes with the world’s only salt-water lake. Here, the grandest lake offers passageway to the Caribbean Sea through the San Juan River. The river was once a stage for great colonial battles. The Rio San Juan is described by Mark Twain as “an earthly paradise” and is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding rain forest experiences of today. The rainforest reserve is described by biologists as “the gem of Central American natural reserves” with the rolling hills, 28 volcanoes and massive iron silhouettes descend are the mighty rivers that journey throughout countryside and greet indigenous villages along the way to the sea.
