Why Latin America &
the Caribbean?

In 2007, Open Doors reported that student enrollments from South America and the Caribbean remained relatively flat in comparison to those in 2006, while enrollments from Mexico and Central America have increased slightly. In the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic increased a healthy 10%, and in Central America, Costa Rica, Honduras and El Salvador all reported increases in enrollments. In South America, Ecuador and Peru continue to report increases and enrollments in Brazil have increased after several years of declining enrollments.

Since the destination of choice for students traveling abroad is still the U.S., Latin America presents vibrant and significant recruiting opportunities for US universities. Moreover students from the region bring vitality to our classrooms and help provide the diversity that universities are seeking for their campuses.

The three-week tour provides options in the Caribbean, Central America and South America – with the tour ending in the southern cone city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. We have added a stop in Santa Cruz, Bolivia for the first time.
