Gap Year Programs In Costa Rica

Flanked by the Pacific to its west and the Caribbean Sea to its east, Costa Rica is a rugged and beautiful gem in the heart of Central America. Costa Rica's incredibly varied topography means you can cruise the cloud forest one day, visit an active volcano the next, and finish relaxing on a hot sandy beach. The country's huge variety of exotic animals, from howler monkeys to toucans, are common to see throughout Central America's most varied landscape. The beaches are world class; the beauty is staggering and the sluggish pace seductive. It's a peaceful oasis in a stunning region.

Whether you plan to discover isolated beaches or enjoy the local cuisine, you won’t be short of ways to satisfy your adventurous side. The only limitation is your return flight!
