Costa Rica
SUMMER COMMUNITY SERVICE TRAVEL PROGRAMS
Mention Costa Rica and people think paradise. The country’s Disneylike cast of creatures – ranging from howler monkeys to toucans – are populous and relatively easy to spot. Its rivers and waves are prime, the beauty is staggering and the sluggish pace seductive.
Costa Rica can offer a visitor so much in the way of natural environment and recreational activities. But to truly enjoy it, Global Works has designed exceptional summer community service and language learning programs that work closely with the local people and combine cultural exchange, impactful community service and adventure travel.
A peaceful oasis in a beautiful region, this tiny, friendly nation is an ideal spot for Global Works’ most popular summer community service adventure.
