We have been running school trips to Costa Rica since 2006. We know the land inside and out. Our friends and our connections will provide you with an excellent experience. 

COSTA RICA SCHOOL TRIPS

Costa Rica school trips provide teachers and students with an abundance of learning opportunities in the diverse landscape this paradisiacal country has to offer. Costa Rica is sometimes referred to as the Switzerland of Central America because of its comfortable lifestyle, peaceful democracy and overwhelming natural beauty.

As one of the most bio-diverse areas in the world Costa Rica offers teachers a wide variety of curriculum tie ins via its majestic rainforest hikes, trails, rushing white-water rapids outdoor adventures, biology research opportunities on land and by the seas, national parks, volcanoes, cultural exchanges via schools and villages, permaculture studies and so much more. Given the country’s size, you can plan a relatively short trip that includes it all.

Evolve has been running school trips to Costa Rica since 2006. Our vast network and local knowledge allows us to tap into unique experiences that are exclusive to our brand.

A trip to this safe and welcoming Central American country provides teachers and students with an educationally rich learning experience. Whether we are immersing ourselves in a community exchange in the rainforest, diving deep into biology studies by the water, learning about permaculture and organic farming practices or simply exploring and learning via hikes, surfing, and learning the language with locals a will provide participants with hands on life changing experiences that can be related back to academics and life. 

We have pre and post curriculum documents that can help tie in your vision of a successful and rewarding school trip to Costa Rica. We have pre-designed itineraries that cater to all needs but we are also able to customize to specific needs. 

Evolve Tours designs authentic, experiential programs to inspire global citizens and bring education out of the classroom and into the world. We empower students through travel. We value students returning home with a new found appreciation for their learning through travel.
