Gearing up for departure
25 de dezembro de 2019, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 50 °F
Happy Holidays to all. In just a week, 14 students and 2 professors will travel through Costa Rica, visiting both well-known eco-tourism locations and destinations off the beaten path. As they travel, they will be immersed in the culture, will connect with locals in meaningful ways, and will learn how this small, developing nation has become one of the leaders in environmental protection.

Students have been asked to pack lightly, as we will relocate almost every day. Students will be enjoying nice weather, so I am sure they will be happy to leave the cold in Virginia. As we travel, I will update the journals so you can read about and see (through pictures) what we are up to. It promises to be an exciting program.Leia mais

Blue flag rated river

Thus community is based along a river that is so clean that you can drink right out if it. But that is because the community has taken great measures to protect it.
