Educational Travel in Costa Rica

¡Pura Vida!

Join us in beautiful Costa Rica where a certified naturalist guide will lead you on an exciting journey that combines spectacular scenery and outdoor adventure with extraordinary Spanish language opportunities and cultural encounters.

  • 8-day Guided

    Begin your journey with a two-day stay with a familia Tica (2-3 students per family), where students will learn to cook, dance salsa, and play in a community fútbol game! After the family stay, your certified naturalist guide leads you on an adventurous waterfall hike and a visit to a traditional Maleku village. Then stop at a typical Tico school and spend a lazy day at the beach to wrap up your time in this tropical paradise. Spring or summer.

  • 9-day Guided without family stay

    Upon your arrival in San Jose, a certified naturalist guide leads you and your group through an unforgettable adventure filled with cultural encounters and the ever-changing beauty of Costa Rica. From zip-lining in the rainforest to lying on the beach, you’ll be amazed and delighted. Keep your eye out for monkeys! Spring or summer.

  • 10-day Guided

    Immerse yourself in Tico life and natural history. The adventure begins as students meet their host families and experience everyday living in Costa Rica (2-3 students per family). Then explore the natural wonders of this lush paradise. From traditional Indian life to rainforest, from a Costa Rican classroom with students just like yours to an orchid forest. Waterfall. Beaches. Animals. And you. Spring or summer.

  • 14-day Guided

    From the moment you arrive in San Jose, you’ll know that a world of wonder is about to unfold. A certified naturalist guide shows you the way: artisan workshops, a volcano (yes, a volcano!) and the awesome cloud forest of Monteverde. Wander the beaches of Manual Antonio National Park. Then students meet their host families for six nights of pura vida, Costa Rica. Spring or summer.
