Not included: flights and travel to/from Ecuador, insurance and personal expenses.

What does the whole trip cost? (rough guide)

Besides the course and accommodation (above), budget for these items too. All figures are non-binding guide values:

  • Flight to Quito (return): approx. €900–1,300, depending on season and how early you book
  • International health & travel insurance: approx. €30–60 per month (mandatory for clinical electives/placements)
  • Vaccinations & travel-medicine advice: depending on your status, a one-off of approx. €50–200
  • Spending money on site: Ecuador is inexpensive; €150–300 a month usually covers food, trips & transport
  • Airport transfer (optional): $40 one-time

That way you can plan your budget realistically. Work out your exact course/accommodation price above; we confirm the rest without obligation.
