Costa Rica

Costa Rica is Central America's special jewel. The country's natural attractions, wildlife and reputation for enlightened conservation draw tourists from all over the world. Successive governments have made a real effort to preserve the country's image as an ecotourism heaven, making Costa Rica one of the best places to experience the tropics naturally and with minimal impact. The country's bio-diversity attracts nature lovers from all over the world. The primary attraction for many visitors is the 850 recorded bird species, which include the resplendent quetzal, indigo-capped hummingbirds, macaws and toucans. Costa Rica's tropical forests have over 1400 tree species and provide a variety of habitats for the country's fauna including four types of monkey, sloths, armadillos, jaguars and tapirs. There are also a number of dazzling butterflies. National parks cover almost 12% of the country, and forest reserves boost the protected land area to 27%

This Passover join Kosher Expeditions for a unique holiday travel experience. The energy of life is so strong in this beautiful little country that it makes the trees of the rainforest practically grow before your eyes. From swimming in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, to horseback riding on a balmy beach, to gliding through the rainforest on a canopy tour, to getting covered in volcanic mud at one of the natural spas, you'll be surprised by how many fun activities you'll find as you explore this "little green country."

What our past participants have to say about Kosher Expeditions Costa Rica Adventure

"I wanted to touch base with you and tell you what a wonderful time Fred, Rosalind and I had in Costa Rica this past Passover. The trip was quite different from what we all expected; which, really turned out wonderful because we were really able to kick back and enjoy the informal culture and leave our usual hectic schedules behind. I have to say we took advantage of every adventure offered and there were several "firsts" on the trip e.g. surfing, kayaking, zip lining, dolphin trip and horseback riding on the beach. I can't tell you how unique and beautiful each one of these experiences was. Additionally, I would like to thank you for turning me onto your morning beach Chi Gong classes.  Last (but not least) thank you for your flexibility and willingness to meet all the needs requested of my family, I can attest to the fact that you catered to the complete spectrum of religious observance. "

Lila & family – Lake Worth, FL

"Wanted to tell you what a great trip we had to Costa Rica!!!   The tour guide was great- warm, easy going, efficient.  The chef was great- personable, accommodating and great food.  All of the activities were terrific; the lodging was great.  The 4 days in the rainforest was a fabulous one-of- a kind experience, just what I wanted.  The place by the volcano with the hot springs was like Gan Eden.  And then to move up to the creature comforts at the end of the trip in the city was nice.  Thank you for putting together a great vacation!!!  We rate it a 10!!!"
 
Harriet & Alan – West Hempstead, NY

"Wanted to let you know how pleased we all were with the trip. The events were well planned and evenly paced, so that we did lots of interesting things but still had a relaxing vacation. The food was excellent and all of the arrangements were thoughtfully worked out.  We enjoyed meeting the other participants on the trip, and in fact their company added a lot to our experience. When an event comes off in a way that seems so effortless, one can be sure that there was plenty of effort involved in setting it up! You and your team did a great job.  Thanks. We will be considering more of your trips in future years, and will be glad to recommend you to others who have not yet gone on one of your trips."

Samuel & Family - Sharon, MA

Costa Rica is an amazingly beautiful country. Thank you for sharing it with us!"
