Day 5 in Costa Rica 🇨🇷✨

What an amazing day of culture, connection, and fun!

The Indy students made their way to Agropecuario San Carlos High School, where they were welcomed by local students who gave them a tour of the campus—in English! Our Indy group stepped up and practiced their Spanish throughout the visit, creating a great language exchange experience for everyone.

One of the highlights of the day was a special presentation by Los Mecateros, where Indy students didn’t just watch—they got involved and participated, making it an unforgettable cultural moment!

To wrap up the day, we headed to Villa Huetares , where students relaxed and enjoyed some well-deserved pool time. 🏊‍♂️☀️

Another incredible day full of learning, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. ¡Pura Vida! 💙
