Join Hopscotch the Globe travel duo Kristen and Siya for 12 exhilarating days across one of the happiest countries on Earth. This journey takes you high up into the cloud forest of Monteverde, across the continental divide and into thick rainforest. Sleep near the base of the Arenal Volcano in the epicentre of adrenaline before visiting one of the world’s largest green sea turtle nesting sites in Tortuguero National Park. Finish off soaking in the sun on the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean coast.
You along with your travel tribe will have the chance to give back to the Earth while volunteering in one of the county’s largest reserves. Spend time with a local family during your homestay and get an inside look at why Costa Rica is considered one of the world’s happiest countries. Explore what was once the world’s most active volcano, soak in hot springs and test your limits on Central America’s longest zipline. This Hopscotch the Globe group trip is packed with adventure, local flavor and thrilling surprises. You will return home ignited to live the life we love knowing you’ve given back, you’ve tried new things and you’ve made lifelong friendships.
This adventure of a lifetime gives back to the Earth and community in more than one way.
You will spend time volunteering within Costa Rica’s largest reserve which protects 23 000 hectares of important forest and whose reforestation program has planted over 1 million trees in the past 30 years.

You will spend two nights with a local family in a homestay which helps to distribute wealth throughout the local community.
