Often the best adventures have no end date… that’s why World Nomads has designed long-term travel insurance policies for all types of travelers. If you're looking to travel for more than a week or two, we have travel insurance that can keep Canadians covered for up to 12 months.

After a full-day tour to Chacaltaya and Valle de la luna, I started to get dizzy, had difficulty breathing and strong pains in my chest. The next morning I contacted World Nomads Emergency Assistance and was directed to Clinica del Sur from La Paz, where I stayed 24 hours under medical surveillance for altitude sickness. After being discharged from the hospital, I continued on my next tour. Yet suddenly I felt a strong pain in my chest and got a headache, so I returned to the medical clinic for an hour of oxygen treatment. The next morning, I flew back to Lima, which was safely at sea level.
