This is an exceptionally demanding mission and for only the fittest folks. Living conditions are very difficult. The three medical site teams staying in the Chimaltenango area will stay at La Villa in the town of El Tejar. This is the hotel used in past missions and is located on the Pan-American highway. Everyone will have a double room or triple if requested with private bath.
Water is warm, rooms are reasonably clean, and toilets are operational.
The food is very good - well prepared and tasty. We will provide all the purified bottle water you will need throughout the mission. You do not want to consume tap water at any time. This year will incorporate a very small construction mission in the area, e.g., fixing up the padre's home or adding a cistern to the church, etc. This is a very small team and usually consists of five to six people.
