The trip was amazing!

The trip to Perou was amazing. We accomplished so much in 7 days. Peru is fantastic. The contrast of different environments: urban, rural, near the Pacific Ocean, in the Amazon, in the Cusco Mountains, among the seaweed, in the desert. Absolutely incredible.💖🇵🇪🦙 The organisation was very good, the people very nice. The support and assistance from the Med-Life team was incredible. The food so delicious. We came back tired, but our heads were full of experience and wonderful memories

This trip was organized to perfection. There is really nothing I would add or change. The new experience with the elementary school kids was phenomenal. It brought something more to the trip. The last visit day was spectacular. Carolina was also a formidable addition to our trip. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and organized.

It was a fantastic week for my son to spend with MEDLIFE in Peru. It was such a great experience for teenagers to participate in medical volunteering and visit so many places. Great job, MEDLIFE, for the organization!
