Meeting Cultures and Creatures in Costa Rica
Posted by Craig Knebel
Mr. Knebel and Ms. Tortora led 15 intrepid souls on a nine day sweeping dash through Costa Rica’s towns, forests, beaches and mountains. Students explored rain and cloud forests, black sand Pacific beaches, volcanoes and waterways. We met tree sloths, howler monkeys, crocodiles, macaws, iguanas, and millions of termites which one student sampled. The people were gracious, generous and happy to have visitors especially the students we met at a local school and foster home for children. We visited a coffee and chocolate plantation as well as an ornamental wood crafting working museum. We had a wonderful guide and a busy schedule of ziplining, horseback riding, kayaking, hiking to waterfalls, river boating, swimming and relaxing in volcanic generated hot springs. Even the most apprehensive students began to enjoy conversing in Spanish with the locals as a result of this amazing trip. Muchos gracias Profie and Pavie. PURA VIDA!
