Comments:  Just miles from the airport; The National Sports Institute offers high altitude training at 1,600m above sea level, an environment separated from distractions in a culturally rich and supportive environment. The institute promotes sports excellence and education and at the local university whom they partner with. This allows students to easily travel from the site to pursue tertiary education for personal development while at the Institute. The area is safe, the views are peaceful and the all-natural food is a great additive for recovery.
