(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 23, 2009 ) CARTAGO, Costa Rica—Tropical Adventures is known for their innovative trips that allow families to become truly involved with this unique country and its people by working with them as volunteers and living with host families. Costa Rica is a family-oriented country and almost all host families have children, so the exchange is good for adults and kids. In fact, experience has shown that children actually adapt easier to cultural differences than parents or grandparents do.
Projects encompass working at Arenal Volcano National Park, the Wildlife Rescue Center, Bambu Indigenous project or in elementary schools for a week. During free time, hiking, rafting, horseback riding or ziplining can be arranged.
Two guest comments exemplify the impact of these trips: "The best part of going on a volunteer trip with my grandson was the quality time we got to spend together doing something meaningful.” “We started to feel more like part of the community than we would have if we had just been there as tourists. Our family got to experience a culture very different from our own from the inside…Perfect.”
Trips include transportation, lodging, three meals, project placement and training and in-country support. The price is $995 per adult for one week. Children 12 and under are $699 for the week. A second week is $900 and $200 respectively. Holiday seasons will carry surcharges. Also, this trip can be customized to meet individual needs.
