School Trips to Costa Rica
In Costa Rica there is a saying—“Pura Vida” or “the simple life.” While there you are encouraged to appreciate life’s simple pleasures. Through this belief Costa Rica is widely known as the happiest country in the world.

From zip-lining through cloud forests and hiking through rain forests to relaxing in hot springs and shopping for treasures in local markets, before you know it, you too will be shouting “Pura Vida!”
