Because Costa Rica is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, the COS students took advantage of the program's two weekend fieldtrips to view the amazing diversity of animal and plant life in the country's national parks. The group visited the Manuel Antonio National Park during their first weekend where they had a choice of hiking in the park's beautiful mountains or lounging on the pristine sand of its spectacular beaches. The following weekend, the group visited Tortuguero National Park where they cruised by boat down the park's river surrounded by jungle and wild animals. Students were in awe of the crocodiles, monkeys and birds that they encountered. What a wonderful experience.
Students learn so much about the culture, the language, and more.
The COS Spanish Language Program in Guatemala gives students the opportunity to earn college credit in Spanish while living and studying in the romantic colonial town of Antigua. Afternoon and weekend fieldtrips provide a look into Guatemala's rich and diverse culture.
