Airfare can range from $1100 to $2500 depending on your departure city and dates of travel. You will also need about $200 cash for local expenses and souvenirs if you want.

Other nationalities should check with their consulate regarding visa requirements.
Shots are optional but we highly recommend Hep A and Hep B. You should also be current on your Tetanus shot. Consult your family doctor, county health center or the CDC for more information.
