TRIP OVERVIEW
Pura Vida. Costa Rica's national motto means "pure life"——and Pura Vida is exactly what you'll experience as you explore the wonders of this tropical, unusual paradise.
Spanish Classes in Turrialba
We'll jump right into our adventure with morning Spanish classes in the green, beautiful town of Turrialba, surrounded by high mountains and thick forest. With the guidance of our Spanish teachers, we will learn useful vocabulary and use new tools to communicate with locals and absorb Costa Rican culture.
Service with Local Organizations and Exploration of Turrialba
Our afternoons in the Turrialba area will be spent putting our new skills to the test as we spend time volunteering at a local children's home, a senior home, and a center for native women. We'll play games, talk, and help the residents of each place with tasks (helping with homework for the young kids or cleaning for the seniors). On an afternoon off from service, we'll head to a local waterfall/swimming hole and hit the lively Turrialba market to collect flavorful local eats and perhaps some souvenirs.
Manuel Antonio National Park: Wildlife Tour, Beaches & Zip Lining
For our final days together, we head to the Pacific coast to explore Manuel Antonio National Park and its astonishing wealth of wildlife and natural beauty. We'll spend a morning flying through the trees on Central America's longest zip line, and swim in warm, clear Pacific waters! A farewell dinner in San Jose and a final evening of Pura Vida with new friends will round out our rich and full Costa Rican adventure!
