Gaviotas I remember reading that Gaviotas was still doing well and was equally respected by both guerilla and paras for their unquestioning and humane treatment of the wounded from either side.

I also read that b/c of the conflict, they are not currently accepting international visitors.

I think the guy who set up gaviotas is currently working with other countries to duplicate this effort. You might want to investigate that! Good luck!
