Oakton Travels to Rainforests of Costa Rica
Journey to Costa Rica to experience the life and habitat of this exotic country on a travel/study tour offered through Oakton Community College. Departure dates in 2005 are Jan. 21, Mar. 25, and Dec.2.
Begin in San Jose, capital of Central America's most biologically diverse country. Learn the structure of the Costa Rican government through a special lecture at the home of a former president. Next, board the Rain Forest Aerial Tram to glide over the rain forest canopy and view the plant and animal life hidden within the tropical treetops. Travel on to San Carlos, climbing to the top of Poas Volcano, one of the largest, active volcanoes in the world. Enjoy Santa Rosa National Park, a tropical dry forest that is home to coyotes, tapirs, and sea and land turtles, and step into paradise on a hike through the magnificent Butterfly Garden of Monteverde.
Finally, spend time with local residents of San Jose at exclusive group luncheons. An optional excursion to Manuel Antonio National Park also is available at an additional cost.
