Trips Overview

“Pura Vida” is more than just a saying in Costa Rica, it’s the simple and pure way of life lived by the locals. Travel to the tropical paradise of Costa Rica and combine Spanish language education, adventurous exploration, cultural immersion, and community service to make an unforgettable summer. Earn 30 hours of community service, develop your Spanish speaking skills, soar through the rainforest on an aerial zip-line, learn to surf, visit Arenal Volcano National Park to see a volcano up close, and even experience a unique overnight whitewater rafting adventure down the beautiful Pacuare River. This two week adventure is filled with big adventures, colorful surroundings, and endless new experiences!
