Fundacion Neotropica offers an exclusive program called Neotropicursos, in two modalities: short term (4 Day) and extended term (10 to 12 day).

Extended Term: “Community and Biodiversity in the Osa Peninsula” / "Osa Sea and Land: Social and Biological Diversity of Coastal Marine Ecosystems in the Osa Peninsula” / "Ecology, Community and Adventure: Camping Experience”

Short Term: "Self - Management Sustainable Development: The Case of the Osa Peninsula, the Reality of the Southern Region of Costa Rica” / "Communities, Agriculture and Sustainable Resource Management in the Osa Península”

These programs are a 4-day field trip to the southern zone of Costa Rica.

The activities included in these mini courses will help participants to understand the reality of this region. Visitors will learn about the development of agriculture, sustainable management practices, and unsustainable management of natural resources.

These programs also include field visits to local communities struggling to reach acceptable quality of life by balancing their needs with nature. Also, participants will have the possibility to see one of the most exotic and biologically diverse regions of the country and will enjoy these natural attractions.

These programs provide the participant the opportunity to be immersed in the social, environmental and cultural dynamics of the area. This is achieved through a direct and personal experience of the main natural attractions, interaction with local people and the interpretation of both aspects through educational lectures that facilitate understanding, awareness and appreciation of the characteristics of the region.



At the moment, Fundacion Neotropica has ten examples of Neotropicursos for groups of minimum 10 people and a maximum of 25.

The proceeds of these recreational/educational activities are funneled directly to small rural community tourism operations and sustainable tourism ventures that have been thoroughly evaluated by Fundación Neotrópica’s team (with 25 years of experience in environmental work). The percentage going to Fundación Neotrópica supports the work of its Centers for Studies and Community Empowerment to improve the community conservation options and the social wellbeing of the region you are visiting.
