We do not require Spanish speakers on the teams, but they are helpful. Our project leader speaks fluent English, but if or when he is away, there may be no other English speakers present.

Local public vans will be provided to transport your team to and from the work site. Vans will be hired to drive teams from the airport to the bus station.
