Experience first-hand a country that dismantled its
military to invest in education and preserve its diverse
ecosystems. This 10-day adventure explores how Costa
Rica balances true human security with stunning
biodiversity through the study of Nobel Peace Prize
Winner Oscar Arias, the former President of Costa Rica,
and immersion into complex ecosystems from
Caribbean beaches to world-renowned rainforests.
Explore how peace and social justice relate to the
preservation of such things as the nesting areas of sea
turtles, habitats of three-toed sloths, Costa Rican history
and culture. Engage in PeaceJam’s Global Call to Action
campaign through service projects that address local
issues ranging from disarmament to conservation, fair
trade, and literacy. In the process, visit some of the most
beautiful and inspiring places in a country that has
earned the title, "the happiest country in the world."
Cost for the 10 Day Expedition: $2,229
