Good To Know...

- The Sarapiquí region is the fastest growing ecotourism destination in Costa Rica. Many community members recognize the need to learn English in order to take advantage of this opportunity. Community members see learning English as a means to improve job advancement opportunities, develop a small business, or facilitate international partnerships.

- Children need to be 120cm or over in order to participate in the Sky Trek Zipline Canopy Tour.

- You’ll be walking around towns, and through forests and jungle on this trip.
Make sure you pack some sturdy and comfortable shoes.

- There are a couple of longer travel days on this trip as we’ll be covering a lot of Costa Rican ground. These 4h drives are along smooth roads in safe and comfortable vehicles, and are great for games, chats and scenery spotting. We’ll also make interesting stops along the way to break up those longer drives.

- It can get really hot and humid. Hydration is key. Carry plenty of water. There'll also be plenty of chances to swim and cool off.

- It’s a good idea to try and brush up on your Spanish. While locals are really friendly, they’re also shy, so knowing a few key words is a great way to break the ice and show you care about them and their culture.
