One of the most famous sayings throughout Costa Rica is pura vida, translating to pure life. Discover the truth behind this statement as you take a trip through the rich biodiversity of the country. Explore the possibilities of CAS through animal and conservation projects, experience the delicious local cuisine, and explore the lush Costa Rican jungle by canal, foot, and even zipline. 

As part of CAS Trips, we encourage our travelers to take part in a fundraising activity prior to departing on your trip. We believe that involving students in the process of fundraising is key to learning and understanding the concept of becoming a Changemaker, and being the future generation of this planet. We work with local non-governmental organizations who know the needs of the individual communities and the best methods to bring about change.
