Should I be concerned about Malaria?

Cases of malaria do exist around Iquitos, but they are extremely rare (close to none) within the region with which our center is located.   Even if, in an unlikely situation, one ends up catching malaria, oftentimes, the strain of it, which is present around Iquitos, is less harmful than the side effects of taking anti-malaria medication itself.   Therefore, we strongly advise you to read up on all possible side effects of taking the meds, before you make a decision to either take them or not.  If you choose to take them in order to be as protected as possible, then the only brand we recommend for you to consider is Malarone.    

Both the Sacred Valley and Arkana Yucatan are considered malaria-free zones.
