Travel insurance reccomendations for an unusual trip!

July 23, 2009 5:01 AM

Any travel insurance recommendation for an unusual trip to Peru?

I am an dual-citizen American/European living in the Netherlands and so I have Dutch health insurance, however, if I am abroad for more than 3 months my insurance plan is void.

In a couple of weeks I will fly to rural Peru to conduct fieldwork in some rather unpleasant conditions: high in the Andes, and also in the jungle.

I know a few people have asked about travel insurance before, but I'm looking for something more heavy-duty (mainly wrt health) should I need serious treatment.

Does anyone have any recommendation?

Thanks a lot!

The default around the backpacker set is World Nomads. Take a look at IMG if you think you need more. I've used both but never claimed.
