Student Reviews of Eco-tourism and Recreation Course with ATEC on the South Caribbean

ATEC hosted a group of 16 students from Ferrum College in Virgina for two weeks. They really got to know Talamanca. They were studying Eco-Tourism and Recreation.
At ATEC we try to expose the students not just to life on the beach, but also life in the mountains, in the Indigenous Territories.
We give them a Post Trip Evaluation, where they rate all their activities, lodging, and food on a scale from 5 (Cool Cool) to 1 (Kind of Yucky)
