We're based in the Guanacaste Conservation Area - one of the most unique places on earth, with so much biodiversity that UNESCO, a UN body, name it a World Heritage Site. The conservation area, located directly on top of the Continental Divide, is where the Atlantic and Pacific ecosystems collide to create a natural kaleidoscope unmatched anywhere else in the world.

The area is home to 140 species of mammals, 300 species of birds, 100 species of amphibians and reptiles, and over 10,000 species of insects.

Some may say that changing the world is a hefty goal. But at Global Leadership Adventures, we believe that you have the power and compassion to make this old world of ours a much better place! That's why we offer service-learning excursions to Africa, Asia, and Latin America for students like you who want to make a lasting impact and learn how to be global citizens capable of positive change.
