ABLE Costa Rica

In ABLE’s Costa Rica trip, students visit the jungles, meet local families, see the wildlife, snorkel in the warm water of the Pacific Ocean, work to speak Spanish, and push personal limits.

We hike in dense, remote wilderness of the Los Santos Forest Reserve and spend each night living with local subsistence farming families. The four day hike takes us from our guide Andy’s Eco Lodge at 9,000 feet elevation down to 2,000 feet where we meet our bus and ride to the beach.  As we pass through the life zones, everything around us changes. Once at the coast, our itinerary takes us to the Osa peninsula and Isla de Cano.  On the Osa peninsula we search for wildlife and then travel to Canyon Island to snorkel and see the wildlife living in the sea.
