Trip Summary
Playa del Carmen, just south of Cancún, has long had the reputation and charm of a small fishing village and artists' colony. It is the perfect place to relax as you take part in this rewarding volunteer project.
Upon arrival in Cancun, you are met at the airport and transferred to your boutique hotel in Playa del Carmen. You have the rest of the day to relax and explore this charming town and beautiful beach.
After breakfast on Day 2 you have a trip out on the crystal blue waters in a catamaran, where you can snorkel and enjoy exploring the wonders of the reefs and fish life.
The following day you begin your meaningful taste of volunteering where you get to assist at an amazing medical clinic, a short 10 minute drive from your hotel.
You have a rest day three days later, when you can choose from a large range of options (included in your trip price) such as a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Mayan ruins of Chitzen Itza or nearby Tulum, to the Sian Kaan biosphere reserve, or swim in the unique cenotes (sinkholes with freshwater) that dot the peninsula.
On Day 7, it is time to transfer back to the airport in Cancun for your flight home, when you can reflect on your fulfilling vacation combining sightseeing with a taste of volunteering.
Take this fantastic opportunity and help make a positive impact at an inspiring clinic set up by passionate individuals to provide healthcare to the poorest local people.
You do not need to have medical expertise to be a big help here!
