(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 30, 2009 ) CARTAGO, Costa Rica—A new trip from Costa Rica’s Tropical Adventures offers a blend of living on an indigenous reservation and the chance to volunteer in the community, all at a super price. The company 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.

The trip begins with a dinner and overnight in San Jose before transferring to the Talamanca Indigenous Reservation on the Caribbean side of the country. Danilo Gabb is the host at the Bambu Cultural Center. This spectacular house was built using Bribri methods and guests stay here while getting to know the local people and the surrounding area. There is also the chance to visit the sites where guests may choose to volunteer on the fourth day. These include the Bratsi Elementary School, the Bambu Retirement Home or the Cultural Center itself. The third day is spent on a frog tour, visiting an indigenous farm to see six types of frogs, parrots, picotes, butterflies and medicinal plants. After the day of optional volunteering, there’s a tour on a dugout canoe to Panama, to swim and relax by a beautiful waterfall. There’s time to say goodbye to new friends before the trip back to San Jose for the night. This seven-day sojourn is only $799 for adults and $699 for children 12 and under. During the free periods, hiking, rafting, horseback riding or ziplining can be arranged. Holiday seasons will carry surcharges. Also, this trip can be customized to meet individual needs.
