Green Tropical Tours is committed to explore the natural wonders of Costa Rica with sensitivity to ecology, conservation and culture.

Our purpose with the student programs is to create an appreciation for the great natural resources we have protected in Costa Rica and provide nature interpretation during their trip.

We have two types of programs, one involves learning Spanish in a school, live with a host family and travel with us to learn about ecology and conservation. The other program, which is biology oriented, includes a visit to Ecolodge San Luis in Monteverde where the student will stay at a bunk-house for a week, receive educational lectures about natural history and participate in daily activities in the property such as milking cows and share with the neighbors of the farms next to Ecolodge. In this program they also visit with us other attractions in Costa Rica.

Students may also combine both programs if they stay 2 or 3 weeks in the country.
