You will join both of us (Kristen and Siya) for 12 exhilarating days across one of the happiest countries on Earth. You’ll sleep near the base of the Arenal Volcano in the epicentre of adrenaline before visiting one of the world’s largest green sea turtle nesting sites in Tortuguero National Park. We will finish off soaking in the sun on the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean coast.

You, along with your new travel tribe, will have the chance to give back to the Earth, volunteering in one of the county’s largest nature reserves. We will spend time with a local family during our homestay and get an inside look at why Costa Rica is considered one of the world’s happiest countries. We’ll explore what was once the world’s most active volcano, soak in hot springs and test your limits on Central America’s longest zipline.

On this trip, you’ll give back in more than one way:

• You will volunteer within Costa Rica’s largest private nature reserve which protects 23,000 hectares of important forest and whose reforestation program has planted over 1 million trees in the past 30 years. The Children’s Eternal Rainforest was founded by donations from children in 44 countries, and is run by a nonprofit conservation organization, the Monteverde Conservation League. A portion of the trip fee goes to this project.
• You will spend two nights with a local family in a homestay which helps to distribute wealth throughout the local community.
