CPI Heredia, founded in 1991, is located in San Joaquín de Flores.  San Joaquín, a suburb of Heredia, is popular among those who wish to be away from the traffic, pollution and tension of the city, yet still want the advantage of easy access to Costa Rica's capital.  Excellent bus service provides transportation from San Joaquín to both Heredia and San José. An additional advantage of San Joaquín is the opportunity to gain an increased insight into Costa Rican culture in a town that is typically "Tico".

The province of Heredia has a comfortable climate year round.  Due to the altitude, night time temperatures of about 18C (65F) are quite common in San Joaquín, so it is recommended to bring a jacket or a sweater.  During the rainy season, (May-December) it often rains in the afternoon so an umbrella and/or a light rain coat are essential.  During the dry season, umbrellas and raincoats are not needed.

TOURS IN HEREDIA
Within walking distance of the school students may visit a butterfly farm, take a tour of a local coffee plantation, hike to the Barva Volcano, or take a trip to a local house/museum decorated in the old fashioned style of Costa Rica. The staff at CPI also arranges planned excursions throughout the week. San Joaquín is an excellent base from which to visit all of Costa Rica. This central location makes travel to to San José easy, where bus connections to any part of the country are readily available.
