View ArticleAn outstanding adventure for budding environmental Global Citizens, to enhance your learning in Geography, Biology, and Environmental Science. Activities include jungle exploration in a biodiversity hotspot, learning environmental conservation skills from indigenous communities, 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's Indigenous cultures offer invaluable knowledge and traditions, deeply rooted in harmony with nature. Additionally, the nation’s commitment to sustainable agriculture showcases how development and environmental conservation can go hand in hand.
Costa Rica is home to spectacular cloud forests teeming with biodiversity, magnificent volcanoes, and pristine jungle and beaches bursting with wildlife. 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, while visiting conservation organisations in the field!
The programme includes learning about sustainable energy production, and several days staying in an indigenous rainforest community - learn how the preservation of indigenous traditions and culture is a vital lifeline to maintain the integrity of their community ecosystem.
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, or arrange a Teams/Zoom meeting, to deliver inspiring presentations in a short Morning Assembly and a longer Parents' Presentation 10 days later.

As I want to study veterinary medicine at university, my experience working with the turtles will help me massively and was great work experience.
Truly a great experience – very professional! It went over and above my expectations, a once in a lifetime experience.
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.
