Students have hands-on experience with Museum specimens and artifacts. This is a small sampling of the classes we offer. This 11-day trip will focus on the natural history of rainforests and the geology of volcanoes. Participants will have the opportunity to visit three different types of rainforests and two active volcanoes, all of which are habitats for an incredible array of animal and plant species. You will visit the cloud forests of Monteverde, the lowland wet forest of Chilamate and Arenal, as well as the lowland dry forest found in the northwest at the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, home to the volcano by the same name.
