Program Highlights

Tube over rapids down the gushing Río Celeste, which is exhilarating and 100% carefree!

Go on a guided night walk in the forest—shhh, you’ll hear chirping, singing, gurgling, and rustling all around you.

Zipline above the tree canopy, ride horses up a mountain, and cross hanging bridges through the cloud forest—you just might see howler monkeys, macaws, sloths, and maybe even a puma!

Follow a path through the lush forest to El Tigre waterfalls and swim, if you dare, in the cold water.

Discover a climate-friendly cosmetics farm and handcraft soap with natural ingredients.

CIEE gives you the experience to go outside of your comfort zone and explore new opportunities. It prepares you for events in the future such as going off to college or finding a job. The most memorable experience on the CIEE Global Navigator High School Summer Abroad Program was meeting so many people and forming new, long-lasting connections. Making new friends on this trip was something that I will never forget.
