Top 3 Medical Tour Destinations

1) Argentina – Argentina became a highly desirable destination for medical tourism following the collapse of their currency (the peso) in January 2002, which had previously been pegged to the US dollar. This collapse resulted in extremely favorable exchange rates for US citizens visiting Argentina. In addition to the excellent medical treatment available in Buenos Aries, itis also a fabulous vacation destination, being the most European-esque city on the American continent. Argentina is located in South America and can be reached from most US cities within 10 to 14 hours.

2) Brazil – Like Argentina, the devaluation of the Real (Brazilian currency) against the US Dollar, has made Brazil an excellent destination for low cost, world-class medical tourism treatment. In recent years, Brazil has become internationally renowned for their famous cosmetic and plastic surgery clinics, where the rich and famous have been going in order to maintain their anonymity and recuperate along the pristine Brazilian beaches.
