Spotlight on: Costa Rica







 

Beat the winter blues and head off to...
 
                Costa Rica!!

Costa Rica is one of the 20 most biologically diverse countries in the world.  For a country only about the size of West Virginia, this translates to ease in spotting Costa Rica's amazing wildlife.  The country's size also means easy access to its many volcanoes, rain forests, cloud forests, tropical lowlands and wetland marshes.

And the adventure options are endless:  

  • whitewater rafting
  • horseback riding
  • hiking
  • eco tours
  • canyoning
  • estuary touring
  • mountain biking
  • surfing
  • bird and wildlife watching
  • golfing
  • deep sea diving
  • caving
  • jungle canopy tours
  • rainforest tours
  • bungee jumping
  • ziplining
  • snorkeling
  • and the list goes on...
Can you spare a week to volunteer?  Maybe a month?

I promise you, it will not be difficult.  Costa Rica is a lush, beautiful paradise with many many benefits... not to mention the sheer pleasure of helping those in need.
