required, depending on the season and region visited.
* A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from travellers aged over one year travelling from an infected area.
Food and Drink
Bottled water is popular with tourists as the local water is salty to taste - although safe to drink. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe for consumption. Local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally considered safe to eat.
Other Risks
Tuberculosis and hepatitis B vaccinations are sometimes recommended.
Health Care
Medical facilities are on a par with the USA, but can be costly. Medical insurance is recommended and should ideally cover the cost of air ambulance.
