San Luis Potosí sits at an elevation of approximately 6,115 feet (1,864 meters), and Real de Catorce reaches about 8,950 feet (2,728 meters). While these elevations are higher than many travelers may be used to, the trip does not involve any strenuous physical activity. You can expect mild walks at a relaxed pace, with plenty of opportunities to rest and acclimate. If you have any specific health concerns related to altitude, we recommend consulting with your doctor before travel.

To enter Mexico as a tourist, you’ll need a valid U.S. passport and a Tourist Card (Forma Migratoria Múltiple). While some airlines may provide the immigration form during your flight, this process can be inconsistent. To avoid any confusion or delays, we recommend completing the Tourist Card online before you travel. It's quick and easy to do at: https://www.mexicotouristcard.com/

If you have any questions about the process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

San Luis Potosí is home to excellent hospitals and medical facilities, so travelers can feel confident knowing quality care is available if needed. However, health coverage while abroad is the responsibility of each traveler. We strongly recommend checking with your U.S. health insurance provider to confirm whether your policy includes international coverage. If not, you may wish to purchase short-term travel insurance that includes medical protection.

Yes. The donation portion of your trip fare is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. After your payment is processed, you will receive an official acknowledgment letter from the University of Arizona Foundation indicating the tax-deductible amount of your contribution. This letter can be used for your tax records.

If you have specific questions about how this applies to your personal tax situation, we recommend consulting a tax advisor.
