Costa Rica: Culture, Craft & Conservation
Program Overview
Set in the lush Central Valley, this journey blends creativity, culture, and community all in the span of one long weekend. You’ll explore how Costa Ricans are reimagining sustainability—from artisans giving new life to retired airplane seats, to farmers cultivating cacao through regenerative practices.
Between immersive hands-on experiences, unwind at your boutique mountain lodge surrounded by volcano views and tropical greenery. Whether baking bread in a village kitchen, crafting an upcycled keepsake, or sharing laughter over a home-cooked meal, each day offers a genuine connection with the people who make this region so special.
In your free time, opt to whitewater raft, zip-line, hike a volcano or simply relax to the sounds of the rainforest.
