I loved this week. I felt taken care of and valued. The support team made sure we were completely prepared and Lucas was a great mentor. The folks in the Academic office are rockstars! This week could not have been possible without them.

I loved La Recoleta, partly because I was always busy, partly because I got along very well with staff, and lastly because I had so much opportunity to connect and form relationships with the abuelitos.

We had a phenomenal experience at Maximo Nivel with Marco and Rojelio and found our construction program so fulfilling and rewarding. I would suggest the program to anyone and to stay longer and add more excursions!
