This eight-day Costa Rica itinerary moves your group through four genuinely distinct ecosystems — the urban energy of San José, the volcanic terrain around Arenal, the misty canopy of Monteverde Cloud Forest, and the Pacific beach community of Playa Hermosa de Jacó — giving students a rare chance to see how one small country holds so much biological and cultural variety. The through-line isn't any single landmark; it's the relationship between Costa Rica's people, its land, and the national identity built around protecting both. That perspective stays with students long after the motorcoach returns them to the airport on Day 8.

Read every review on Trustpilot“We had a FANTASTIC experience with Passports this year! From the beginning, in the planning stages, the difference between Passports and EF was clear, and that difference bore out over the course of the trip. We are so thankful we found you guys and really felt that the whole experience was better than what we've had with EF.”
