Costa Rica is an excellent place to start understanding the problems and benefits of sustainable development. This small nation has a diverse landscape of tropical rain forests, mountain cloud forests, volcanoes, green countryside, beautiful rivers, and many animals that are not in our country. Although the country lies entirely in the tropical climate zone, elevation changes allow for cooler temperatures in the central highlands while the coastal lowlands are normally hot and humid. The trip leaders are Dr. James Pease and Dr. Cheryll Reitmeier . They have been to Costa Rica a total of 14 times.
Some scholarships are available.
