The EP are programs designed to promote transformative and experiential learning.

These programs don’t just provide the participants the opportunity to see exotic and unique places, but also put them in close contact with the social-environmental realities of the areas visited. These programs are “tailor made” and they are adaptable to the academic needs of the group and they will be designed according to te goals and objectives of the visiting group. These programs include visits to the South and North Pacific Region, and the Central Caribbean of Costa Rica.


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.
