Study Abroad
Costa Rica Study Tour

The Costa Rican Study Tour engages students in learning about agricultural practices, sustainability, traditional foods, and the health and wellness practices of both the indigenous and urban Costa Ricans. Students travel by canoe to the Bribri village to learn about their traditional healing and lifestyle practices. Individualized tours with bilingual guides to organic farms, plantations, and markets throughout the country expose students to the rich agricultural processes: coffee, sugar, pineapple, avocado, pejibaye, banana, cocoa, tropical fruits, and fish. Hiking in the rainforest, cloud forest, and along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts exposes students to the ecological balance of nature in this unique country. Students visit medical and rehab centers, spas, and natural hot springs to learn about the relationships between food, mind, body, and spirit. A learning adventure of a lifetime!
