Why travel? • Why I’m passionate about travel • Culture is sights, sounds, smells, tastes • My own experience in Spain--- independence, leadership, self-confidence • Why this tour is great for our group • Great place to start, “close” to home, safe, active, connect to school • Help students develop a global perspective
Traveling and experiencing different Hispanic cultures have been among the best experiences of my life! I was so excited to add Costa Rica to my list this Past summer!
Our tour From volcanoes to the coastal dry forest, Costa Rica’s natural beauty is awe-inspiring. Relaxing in therapeutic hot springs, zipping through a forest canopy filled with monkeys and macaws, hiking to La Fortuna Waterfall, your students will marvel at Costa Rica’s natural beauty and amazing biodiversity.
