Immerse your students in one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth, where rainforest ecology, volcanic geology, and conservation science come together across Costa Rica’s most celebrated natural landscapes. Beginning in San Jose, the journey continues to the La Paz Waterfall Gardens, home to one of the country’s most impressive collections of cascades and cloud forest ecosystems, before reaching the geothermal hot springs of Ecotermales La Fortuna near the base of Arenal Volcano. Students engage directly with the environment through a canopy and adventure park experience at Vista Los Sueños, a guided exploration of Manuel Antonio National Park’s rainforest and coastal ecosystems, and a private jungle river excursion at Hacienda Nosavar to observe crocodiles and riverine wildlife in their natural habitat. A community-based volunteer service component adds a layer of environmental stewardship and cultural exchange to the science curriculum.
