Casa Colibrà Clinic
How far do residents have to travel to the clinic?
People travel on foot to reach the clinic because there is very little transportation available. Virtually nobody owns a car or truck. We have had people travel as many as 18 hours to reach our doorstep. Typically, people walk between one and three hours to get to the clinic. The area is very mountainous, so even though it is not a great distance, the people must walk up and down the rocky hillsides. Sometimes they walk without shoes on the stony paths.
