Oakton Offers Family Vacation to Costa Rica
Experience Costa Rica and its customs on a family vacation package offered by Oakton Community College. This special tour is scheduled July 14-21.
Known as "the wildlife sanctuary of the Americas," Costa Rica is famous for its tropical rain forests, rivers, volcanoes, and beaches. This "family discovery" vacation offers a faculty escort and national guide who is a specialist in forestry and natural resources sciences.
After a presentation at the home of a former president, board the Rain Forest Aerial Tram and keep a sharp eye out for the exotic life hidden within the treetop canopy. Travel to San Carlos and climb to the top of Poas Volcano, one of the world's largest active volcanoes. Enjoy Santa Rosa National Park, a dry forest inhabited by 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 San Jose residents at exclusive group luncheons. An optional excursion to Manuel Antonio National Park also is available at an extra cost. Additional "budget" learning vacations to Costa Rica also are available.
For more information, including costs and complete itineraries, call Bea Cornelissen at 847-635-1812.
