Travel Study in Puerto Rico

We are Latinas Unidas, a student led club at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle, Wa. We are seven young women with an adventurous teacher excited to explore the world. The more we travel, the more we experience, the more we grow!

Traveling to Puerto Rico provides a unique opportunity in which we can be fully immersed in Spanish language and Latino culture within the boundaries of the United States. We will develop our language skills and gain unique perspectives from the people of Puerto Rico. We plan to experience indigenous Taino culture during a two-day home stay with one of the only 9 remaining Taino grandmothers. We will explore the rich, diverse, and threatened sea life of the Caribbean Sea, including sea turtles, reef fish, bioluminescence and the mangroves. We will learn about native plants and animals as we hike through El Yunque, the United States' only tropical rainforest. We will discover the history of Puerto Rico through a visit and tour of Old San Juan. The learning will be endless!

Our teacher is helping us to plan and organize this trip and has the budget down to $1100 (including airfare) per student. Going to Puerto Rico will be a trip of a lifetime! Please support us in making it a reality!
