Travel
Arrangements:
You should begin making travel plans as soon as your place in the group is reserved, and you should complete them upon being notified of your selection. We strongly recommend that participants purchase travel insurance to cover all needs including medical, accident, baggage loss, delays and personal liability. ArchaeoSpain is not a travel provider nor is a registered travel agent. Your travel arrangements to and from Spain are subject to the terms and conditions of your travel agency. In the rare event that the program is cancelled, ArchaeoSpain will refund volunteer costs, but is not responsible for non-refundable airline or other tickets or payments or any similar penalties that may be incurred. It is your responsibility to protect yourself against airline and travel agency cancellation fees.
Medical Insurance:
ArchaeoSpain provides a free insurance packet that offers full medical and surgical treatment, prescription drugs, coverage in case of accident and some compensation for baggage loss or theft. You may contact our staff for more information.
Right of Refusal:
ArchaeoSpain reserves the right to refuse an applicant's selection. This is a rare occurrence and is most likely due to a person's inability to meet health requirements or in the interest of group compatibility. Once in the field, the program director and ArchaeoSpain reserve the right to send a volunteer away from the program should that person's behavior compromise the safety, research objectives and general performance of the group, or violate Spanish laws, regulations or customs.
