Real Gap Experience
61-63 Chatham St. Fifth Floor Boston, MA 02109 United States
Description
Spend four weeks exploring some of the most exciting sights and sounds that Costa Rica has to offer from Arenal Volcano to the beaches of Samara, whilst also taking time out to give something back volunteering at two fantastic projects - one with Sea Turtles and the other building new homes for local people. After all that traveling and hard work it'll be time to relax in the idyllic Bocas del Toro islands off the coast of Panama.
Highlights
The Costa Rica Experience is packed full of exciting and rewarding activities providing you with a unique adventure through Costa Rica and Panama. During the 4 weeks you will take part in two extremely important, but very different volunteer projects - a Sea Turtle Conservation project on the Pacific coast, and a house building project in San Ramon. You will also visit the stunning Rio Celeste - Costa Rica's own "Blue Lagoon" along with the Arenal Volcano where you can take a relaxing dip in the hot springs, and that's not it! Also included is a four day trip over to the Caribbean archipelago of Bocas del Toro in Panama. For an exhilarating adventure you will white-water raft and swing through trees on a canopy tour (see adventure option), and there will also be time to relax on Costa Rica's stunning beaches.

* Volunteering with Sea Turtles on the Pacific Coast
