Educational trips in Costa Rica
Educational trips are designed to offer a learning and joyful experience for families, groups of students from middle school, high school and universities.
We want our trips to be a learning experience, so you and your students or your family may go back home with a different perspective about life in a tropical and developing nation. We have a strong social commitment and we would like you to be part of it. We will be suggesting different volunteer activities in communities that are in need of support.
Students will participate in several science projects to learn about tropical ecosystems. Programs are designed to create awareness on our responsibility with nature.
This will be a good opportunity to learn about how the government and the people of Costa Rica are approaching conservation and development issues.
Many of the environmentally friendly accommodations will be small-scale eco-tourism lodges. As you visit some of Costa Rica’s national parks and private reserves, you will witness how tourism supports the local economy and small entrepreneurs.
Trips are available for any time of the year, and we offer special discounts for groups of 10 or more participants. The leader of the group is complimentary for a group of 10.
