Pura Vida - Costa Rica
- Immersive Rainforest Experiences
- Science-based Learning Service Options
- School Exchange Program with Partner School
- Leadership and Community Building
- Eco-adventure (Rafting, Tree Top Explorations, Hiking)
The backdrop for an immersive educational experience is Costa Rica, where nature, culture, and sustainability converge. Our Costa Rica programs are designed to provide hands-on experiences in the country’s lush rainforests, pristine beaches and vibrant communities, allowing participants to explore biodiversity conservation, sustainable living, Spanish language acquisition, and more. Students can engage in eco-tourism, wildlife conservation, and community-driven projects while gaining valuable insights into Costa Rica’s green business models and environmental initiatives. This ALIVE program provides a blend of skill development, adventure, and cultural enrichment in one of the world’s most biodiverse destinations.
Dates: November, December, March to June
December and March are busy times to visit Costa Rica. November, April, May and June are ideal times when costs are lower and there is more space to explore. Other dates are possible, please inquire.
Length: 5 to 10 days in Costa Rica
You pick Costa Rica because you want a safe destination with a robust tourism industry that is a short flight from most North American departure locations. The length of time is really dependant on the different areas you want to visit. We suggest a minimum of five days and no more than ten, or you might not want to come back home!
Cost Considerations
A popular destination during the tourist high seasons of March and December, it can also be a cost-effective destination in the shoulder seasons. Cost varies widely based on whether you are staying in rainforest research stations, city or beachfront hotels, or communal living lodges. The more commercial eco-tourism activities you want to plan into your trip will increase the cost as well.

Start Planning
We want to speak with you. All our programs are custom designed from the locations, lessons, instructor suitability, risk management, to the timing and cost. It is what we do best, make the experience exactly what you want.
People You Can Trust In The Places You Don't Know
Our Instructors Make The Difference
Our people are incredible. We know that the interactions you have with our talented, passionate, and dedicated team of instructors can be a defining factor of the program's success. It can make all the difference. We are uncompromising in how we match our instructors with each program's goals.
Risk Management You Can Feel
ALIVE is known industry wide as a leader in risk management. Our team has built a reputation on thoughtful, accurate and engaged risk mitigation. We bring our depth of experience and match it with regional emergency response systems to provide a safety net to our global programs.
Straight Talk On Service Learning
Are you looking at adding a service learning experience into your program model?
We understand the importance of engaging students with communities through action. The problem with typical service learning is that it can create an incredible power imbalance between the host community and the visitors - often causing more harm than good. We are dedicated to changing the way service learning is thought of, planned for, and engaged in. We believe in learning service and interdependence, small changes in language that has a giant change in values and impact. Ask us more about how we are working to change the typical approach to service.
Programs Designed For Growth
Sharing in the experience adds an important layer to the design of all our Global Learning Programs. We ask every program to share their experience through blogs, video highlights and photo albums. We consolidate and transfer learning through real time engagement.
