It Has Been a Very Busy Summer at Human Connections in Bucerias Elly Rohrer - Human Connections
August 29, 2017

This summer we hosted not one, but two internships here in Bucerías, and had the privilege of working with 15 outstanding university students from five different countries. Their projects focused on strengthening our local relationships and raising awareness about responsible tourism - a trend we are excited to see is growing around the world just as we continue to grow as an organization.

With the tour season right around the corner, we can't wait for what's in store. Read on to hear more about what's happening at HC.
