Colby College 2026

Our amazing experience in Monteverde Costa Rica.


Our first day in Monteverde was the perfect start to a week full of activities; we began by exploring the center of Santa Elena and participating in an activity where we got to interact with the locals. It was fun because we got to practice our Spanish and finally meet our Tica family! The adventure leveled up when we explored Santa Elena more thoroughly and got our adrenaline pumping with zip lines, cable cars, and, to top it off, the Tarzan swing, which was so much fun! And with the excitement, we also began our first week of Spanish classes at CPI, where we discovered new words, meanings, and fruits, and even immersed ourselves in the local culture by giving presentations on Costa Rican legends. We visited Life Monteverde to learn about the history and process behind coffee planting and harvesting, while tasting its different flavors. Without a doubt, it has been a complete and “Pura Vida” experience! Thank you very much, Costa Rica!
