Review

I volunteered in a public clinic in Cusco for 4 hours in the morning and then had Spanish classes for 4 hours in the afternoon. It was a hard work and tiring but very enjoyable. I was severely limited in seeing by patients by my low level of Spanish. Everyone at the clinic was friendly and it was interesting to see a different healthcare system but my personal impact was low. The Spanish school 'mundo antiguo' was brilliant and organised lots of social activities such as meals, salsa classes and cultural experiences. Cusco is a very safe and beautiful city with loads of historical sites to visit at the weekends
