Why Puerto Rico? For starters, there is no passport, no customs required!
Puerto Rico is a U.S. Commonwealth, so your trip is considered domestic travel. Still need other reasons to consider Puerto Rico? Here are just a few more!
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Unique Culture – Puerto Rico is a fusion of Taíno, African, Spanish, and American culture, all within a 100-by-35 mile island.
4. 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.
5. Air Transportation – Puerto Rico is a direct and short flight from most major U.S. cities.
