Why Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico is the perfect place for your travelers' Spanish experience "abroad." Here's why: 1. NO Passport, NO Customs Required - (No lines, no paperwork, no deadlines!) Puerto Rico is a U.S. Commonwealth, so your trip is considered domestic travel. As of January 2008, all American citizens need to have valid passports when traveling to the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada. U.S. territories are the only exception to this rule. 2. Safe "Foreign" Travel - Puerto Rico is part of the United States, a foreign culture without being a foreign country. Medical care, food and water regulations, currency, telephone, banking, and postal services are all the same as in the U.S. Parents are usually more likely to send their child to a local and more affordable location like Puerto Rico given our current economic and national security climate. 3. Medical Care - Puerto Rico’s major medical centers are the finest in the Caribbean. All doctors and hospitals follow U.S. medical standards. Medical care is easily accessible in every town and city we visit. No immunizations are required for visiting Puerto Rico. 4. Unique Culture - Puerto Rico is a fusion of Taíno, African, Spanish, and American culture, all within a 100-by-35 mile island. 5. Affordable Travel - Given the proximity to most major U.S. cities, and the flexibility with the length of our tours, Puerto Rico is one of the friendliest and most affordable educational tour destinations for students. The group cost for same days for a Spain trip would probably be twice as much. 6. Cell Phone Use – Puerto Rico is treated like any U.S. state in terms of cell phone coverage. Most companies do not charge anything extra for making calls to and from Puerto Rico. No roaming, no long distance! 7. Air Transportation - Puerto Rico is a direct and short flight from most major U.S. cities. For more information about our lovely "islita" visit:
