...the best of service and adventure all wrapped into one.
On his final voyage to the New World, Christopher Columbus came upon what he considered the place of pure paradise. Costa Rica is quite a different Central American location. She is the only Central American country to not be ravaged by war in the 20th century. Costa Rica’s stable economy has created the environment in which eco-tourism has boomed. You could say this country has a staggering beauty.
A voyage to Costa Rica allows the team to experience the best of service and adventure all wrapped into one. You can work on refurbishing a school in a small community in the morning, and be climbing a mountain trail or spelunking into a maze of caves by the afternoon. Try teaching English to a group of students, and then cruise 300 feet over a rain forest on a canopy tour. So many adventures are waiting. Consider Costa Rica for the voyage of a lifetime.
