Introduction
Since 2009 we’ve been offering all-inclusive international travel programs for students interested developing real world travel skills while exploring some of the world's most interesting places as part of a small group.
Our programs seize every opportunity to practice foreign language, navigation, scheduling, collaboration, and budgeting skills with real world activities like cross-referencing street and metro maps, purchasing transit passes, researching opening days/times, navigating an itinerary and staying on schedule, choosing restaurants and making reservations, and eating well while staying within a meal allowance.
Itinerary
Dig into Puerto Rico's history and cuisine while becoming oriented with the layout of Old San Juan on a guided food tour. Spend the next day exploring the cobbled streets, parks, plazas, churches, and forts of this colonial city with some time for lunch and shopping. Spend a day in the countryside connecting with the jibaro (self-subsistance farmers) while providing a helping hand at a coffee plantation, in a traditional countryside kitchen as you prepare your own dinner, trying your hand at trova, and learning how to salsa. Spend a morning learning how to surf followed by some extra board time to hone your skills. Ferry over to Vieques for horseback riding, snorkeling, and a night kayak on the world’s brightest bio-bay. Ferry back to Purto Rico for an Eco-Adventure (Hiking, Ziplining, Rapelling) in El Yunque Rainforest - the only rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System - before heading to the beach for a final sunset.
