Costa Rica Explorer

March 25 - April 1, 2006
A travel program exclusively for Brown alumni and friends

Experience a unique combination of all that Costa Rica has to offer on Brown Travelers "Costa Rica Explorer" trip. Start with a few days of whitewater rafting and rainforest adventure on the Pacuare River. Go on magnificent waterfall hikes, climb into the rainforest canopy, visit the Cabecar Indians and relax in our jungle cabanas right next to the roaring river rapids. Next, switch gears and spend a day at the Arenal Volcano, exploring one of the world's most active volcanoes ending with a relaxing dip in the natural hot springs at Tabacon. Finish by relaxing with us on one of Costa Rica's most beautiful Pacific Coast beaches. Snorkel, sea kayak, horseback ride, swim, hike in the rainforest, or simply relax at our luxury Playa Tambor beach resort. Explore Costa Rica with us on this action-packed and relaxing vacation while renewing old Brown ties and making new connections with fellow Brunonians!
