School Immersion Trip to Puerto Rico

Without a doubt, Puerto Rico is distinguished with one of the most unique cultures in the world. During the early 18th century, in order to populate the country, the Spaniard took Taino Indian women as brides. Long after Spain lost control of Puerto Rico, Spanish immigrants continued to arrive on the island, mixing many of their customs with the locals. Cuisine, eating habits, music, and family traditions are among the many Puerto Rican customs that define their unique culture. Additionally, this island has an abundance of adventure opportunities, including amazing rainforest waterfalls, bioluminescent kayak tours, and incredible coral reefs. Learn, explore, and help restore an orphanage in an impoverished section of San Juan.

Trip Highlights Include:

• Volunteering at a local children's shelter

• Tour the Old World Spanish Settlement founded by Ponce de Leon

• Puerto Rican cooking and dancing lessons
