checkups are essential for any major Latin American trip so do
check in with your doctor for vaccinations in plenty of time
before journeying or even a Latin American specialist if your
doctor is not qualified sufficient to help.

diseases are as follows: Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Malaria,
Tetanus, Poliomyelitis, Infectious Hepatitis, & Rabies in the
Oriente and jungle areas or other epidemics that may have
