Quillabamba

The city of eternal summer. Quillabamba is a town set in the high jungle of Peru but the weather is hot all year round. Approximately 7 hours bus ride from Cusco, Quillabamba is a fantastic place to escape to in the latter weeks of your elective. The hospital is a fair size with 15 Doctors, 20 Nurses and a number of technicians who run their own laboratories. Aswell as Malaria, Quillabamba has recently had an outbreak of Yellow Fever and an increase in the incidence of Rabies, oddly enough as a result of people being bitten by bats.
