The Global Action trip to Costa Rica has been specifically designed to give budding environmental Global Citizens an outstanding adventure, while enhancing students’ learning in Geography, Biology, and Environmental Science. Activities include getting involved in permaculture, learning about sea turtle conservation, and exploring world-famous cloud forests and National Parks. Learn about:
Costa Rica is known for its progressive environmental policies, aiming to be carbon-neutral by 2050 with a goal of generating 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Costa Rica has enjoyed something of a tourism boom with its wide variety of ecosystems and green conservation credentials.
Central America’s Garden of Eden houses tropical rainforests, temperate deciduous, mangrove and cloud forests, and two coral-rich coastlines. It stands out from other Central American destinations as a stable country with highly developed health and education systems and is an inspiration to other countries around the world seeking to balance economic growth with environmental protection.
Costa Rica is home to spectacular cloud forests teeming with biodiversity, magnificent volcanoes, and pristine beaches bursting with marine life. Costa Ricans are known to be the happiest people on earth and live by the philosophy of ‘Pura Vida’ (pure life).
You’ll travel across the country from the jungles to the coast, experiencing some of the most bio-diverse forests and breath-taking scenery in the world!
The programme also includes learning about permaculture, sea turtle conservation and helping a Blue Flag beach programme – your contribution to Sustainable Development (Goal 14), Life Below Water and (Goal 12), Responsible Consumption and Production.
We appreciate how busy Teachers are, so we’ve made the booking process as simple as possible! There are four easy steps:
Call or email us to book a meeting or teleconference at your school. We will listen carefully to what interests you and your requirements.
We will then email you a tailored proposal, which will include a full itinerary, all-inclusive price, and key documents for the senior management team.
Once you get approval from the SMT, we will send you key marketing material, including posters, to help promote the trip.
We will visit the school to deliver inspiring presentations in a short Morning Assembly and a longer Parents' Presentation 10 Days later.

Truly a great experience – very professional! It went over and above my expectations, a once in a lifetime experience.
Well organised, educational and enjoyable way to learn about a wonderful country.
The turtle project was amazing because it helped us connect with nature and get away from technology. They were very careful about what they did to help the environment.
