The Campus • UPeace campus is modern and has all facilities (full wi-fi connectivity, great classrooms, library and computer center, cafeteria, infirmary). • The campus is within a natural reserve composed of a secondary forest and the last remnant of primary forest (1.200 ha) in the Central Valley of Costa Rica
