Chiapas Travel Application Form

Thank you for your interest in joining one of our delegations to Chiapas, Mexico!

“There are few opportunities where I am able to take a trip like this. By visiting and interacting with the Tseltal people, families, and communities, my life is enriched. I gain a deeper appreciation of the goodness and strength of their human spirit and learn about their rich culture, despite the many challenges they have faced over the years, including social isolation and poverty.” Jim Harms, Chiapas Delegate

Our Chiapas partners are located in an economically poor region where living conditions are simple. Our accommodations in Chiapas are shared and very simple. We often go on 1-2 day visits to outlying villages where conditions are primitive: sometimes no running water or toilet facilities; no refrigeration; basic diet of beans and tortillas; hot, humid days and sometimes cold nights; rough roads; sometimes long hikes; limited or nonexistent medical facilities; shared sleeping accommodations.

Are you taking any medications? If so, please give the name(s) and dosage(s). *

*This information will be held confidentially by One Equal Heart and used only if you have a medical issue in Chiapas and notifying the treating health provider is advisable.

Are you under the care of a physician(s)? If so, please provide the physician(s)' name(s) and phone number(s) in case we have to contact them in the event of a health emergency in Chiapas. *
