Costa Rica

Look down 1,000 feet into the active Poás Volcano, kayak across the crystalline Lake Arenal and relax in its numerous bubbling hot springs, then strap yourself into a harness for the ultimate rainforest experience as you soar through the canopy on a zip line.

On this 8-day unforgettable adventure, you’ll discover breathtaking volcanoes, serene lakes and what it means to change people’s lives forever. From San José to Coastal Puntarenas, your experience will leave a mark on both the locals you’ll encounter, as well as on yourself.

Prepare for a spiritual awakening as you embark on this two-week journey through the Costa Rican countryside. Along the way, your invaluable contributions will touch the lives of many local residents at the schools and churches that your group will be assisting.

Visit the Rincón de La Vieja Volcano Park and stand at the edge of a bubbling volcanic crater, horseback ride to hacienda’s waterfalls, bask on the beach in Guanacaste, and then give back by volunteering in the rural community of Santos.

See turtle nesting grounds, massive manatees and giant iguanas in Tortuguero, relax in hot springs and kayak on crystalline lakes in Arenal, and travel up to Monteverde to spot howler monkeys and colorful tree frogs hidden under a cover of clouds.

See the bubbling 6,285-foot-high Rincón de La Vieja Volcano, ride a horse to the cooling hacienda’s waterfalls, kayak on Arena’s pristine lake, make your way up to Costa Rica’s Cloud Forest in Monteverde, and see cows, horses, and cowboys in Guanacaste.
