Global Action offers a truly bespoke service and no two itineraries are the same. Sometimes, itineraries may be subject to change due to circumstances outside our control. We will always endeavour to give you an outstanding trip tailored to your learning aims.
Meet up at school, where your Global Action Trip Leader will check your kit and run through health and safety briefings.
Your exciting adventure begins, as you fly into Costa Rica’s capital City, San Jose, set in the middle of the central valley and surrounded by high mountains.
Witness conservation in action, and learn about the impacts and challenges of wildlife rehabilitation and environmental protection from experts at NATUWA Wildlife Sanctuary. Explore the world-famous Monteverde Cloud Forest reserve and visit the Tropical Science Centre - learn how climate change, monitoring of endangered species and the social impact of eco-tourism on neighbouring communities are inter-linked.
Hike through spectacular volcanic landscapes - see how Costa Rica harnesses geothermal, hydro, and wind energy for sustainable power.
Trek into the Bribri Indigenous Territory, deep in the rainforest near the Panama border. Be part of a grassroots ecotourism project to sustain the community and conserve their land. Take part in roof-weaving, bow-and-arrow shooting, medicinal plant identification, chocolate-making, and Bribri language lessons.
An amazing conservation area for wildlife monitoring and observation in its natural habitat, including rainforests, wetlands, lagoons, coral reefs and beaches.
Time to travel back to San Jose for a Final Review led by your Global Action Leader, to reflect on your unique adventure - from exploring spectacular cloud forests, to learning from the indigenous communities and wildlife organisations preserving Costa Rica’s future.
