When the classes conclude, the adventure awaits you! Mix the majestic with the extreme in an exciting zip-line experience through the treetops in the clouds. But that is not all! Monteverde offers a wide variety of activities, one of which is hiking through the numerous trails that meander through numerous reserves. These reserves are protected areas, and home to more than 100 species of mammals, 400 species of birds, tens of thousands of species of insects and more than 2,500 varieties of plants (420 of which are only orchids). What else? Watch birds or look for the famous Morpho butterfly from Costa Rica, which is native to the cloud forest. Other activities available include an educational coffee or cocoa tour, bungee jump diving, a yoga class, a perfect sunset over the Gulf of Nicoya on horseback, or weekend trips to the Arenal Volcano , Manuel Antonio National Park, Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, or Nicaragua.

Monteverde and the CPI campus are the perfect place for students looking to get out and explore the natural world around them. Whichever activity or adventure you choose, the CPI staff is at your service to book activities with the best tour operators and recreation professionals in the area. Complete your perfect day in the soothing waters of the CPI hot tub before you return to your host family for a typical Costa Rican meal and, of course, to practice your Spanish! Also, if you are so inclined, check out the local disco later in the evening to apply your newly acquired Latin dance skills.
