A tiny country so
packed with sites that it's impossible to see them all in one vacation, Costa
Rica has become enormously popular among travelers with many diverse interests.
Nestled between Nicaragua and Panama on the north and south, and the Caribbean
and the Pacific on the east and west, Costa Rica's terrain covers everything
from pine-covered mountains to lush rain forests, from dry lowlands to
spectacular beaches. The climate can be stiflingly hot on the coasts, eternally
spring-like in the valleys, and downright chilly high in the mountains. It's one
of the most ecologically diverse and beautiful places on earth.
Along with special sightseeing tours, this holiday features a "Welcome to Costa
Rica" full day Calypso Cruise, and an afternoon spa visit to indulge yourself
with a relaxing massage or facial.
End your unforgettable holiday in Costa Rica by participating in a special
one-day service project in San Jose with SOFTLY International. You will have the
opportunity to “give back” as you work with the children and their families in
Costa Rica. SOFTLY (Securing Our Future Through Loving Youth) is a nonprofit
organization serving the poor and often orphaned Central and South American
children with programs that provide health, security and educational
opportunities. Their underlying concept is that we all are one global family and
family love is not just a "hand out" to a sad child in a strange land, but as
"helping hand" creating new opportunities and futures. You will participate with
the children and their families in building beds (Lego style), delivering them,
and then experiencing a special love and joy that touches the hearts of all.
