CAS Spring Break in Colombia

Travel dates: March 14 - 23, 2025.
Join us as we learn about the journey of coffee and coca from Colombia to US Consumers! Travel to Colombia and visit the Antioquia department of Colombia, as well as seeing sites in the cities of Medellín and Jardín. Witness an array of tropical fruits at the Minorista agricultural market, and take a photo class tour of Medellín, a graffiti tour of Comuna 13, and a detour to visit Jericó, a beautiful traditional village. There you will have lunch and visit the historical churches, while learning about the village's environmental activism against gold mining. Stay on a coffee farm, learning about the growing and preparation of coffee beans first-hand. Also visit a farm in San Cristobal, to learn about fermentation, truffles, and hot chocolate. Finally ride Medellín's famous gondola above the city to Arvi Park, before returning home.
* CAS study abroad will be enforcing COVID vaccination and/or testing requirements based on the regulations of the country of designation. Please note the situation and requirements in other countries can fluctuate over time.

Through studying abroad, I have experienced different cultures and ways of life that I never fully understood before coming here. My entire worldview has changed, and through being places in different situations outside of my comfort zone, I have grown so much as a person.”  - Addison
