Guatemala Healthcare Project Guatemala Health/Medical Project

Few health care facilities exist in rural Guatemala, and even fewer people are aware of health problems and basic health care solutions. As a result, poverty hinders Guatemalans in their pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, adversely affecting their social well-being. Rustic Volunteer Travel is able to place interested volunteers/travelers on the front lines, witnessing healthcare from an often intimidating yet beneficial and rewarding point of view. Volunteers/travelers will have the opportunity to provide some level of support social/emotional for these transient children at the most vital level, in hopes of providing a better future for these children.

Arrival Point:

Aurora International Airport , Guatemala City

Airport Pick-up:

Upon the receipt of your flight information, our in-country coordinator or other project staff will greet the volunteers in the airport and take you to your project site. The address and telephone number of the local contact hotel will be given before departure just in case volunteers miss our representative in the airport. Please make sure to e-mail your flight information to both the USA office and the local in-country coordinator's office.

Departure Point:

Aurora International Airport , Guatemala City

Airport Drop:

Rarely, a few do request an escort back to the airport; this is an extra expense of about $75.  Most are very familiar and comfortable with their stay and have great ease taking their own taxi or bus back to the airport.
