Only a 20 minute taxi drive from the school, the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is known as one of the most outstanding wildlife sanctuaries in the New World tropics. 

Positioned atop the Continental Divide, the Reserve extends down both the Caribbean and Pacific slopes and includes eight different ecological life zones. 

The tour starts with a slide show and lecture prior to the hike along the trails of this famous reserve. 

This is a guided tour that lasts two hours. 

You will have a bird's eye view of the forest as you travel from tree platform to tree platform on horizontal traverse cables with the constant assistance of a guide. 

You will see many different indigenous plants and animals. 

This is a major adrenaline rush.

The Sky Trek is an interesting combination of both a canopy tour and a hanging bridge tour where the student is able to view the forest from the highest level possible. 

The Skywalk provides another way to experience the canopy from above. 

A guided tour walks students over five hanging bridges that connect a 2 kilometer path.

This tour takes students through a network of short paths exhibiting over 400 species of orchids, all native to the region, including what is thought to be the world's smallest flower. 

At any time of the year there a minimum of 40 species in bloom, but there can be as many 120 species blossoming at one time.

Here you will have a great view of Volcano Arenal. 

On a clear night it is possible to see volcanic eruptions.  If you are interested it is possible to travel by horseback to El Mirador and spend the night in a small cabina located at the top of the mountain. 

Breakfast is included.

The first leg of this tour is Arenal Volcano, located in the northern part of the province of Alajuela.

On the road to the volcano stop in the small town of Zarcero to see the gardens.
Once in Arenal, bathe and relax at the Tabacón Hot Springs, natural water pools and falls heated by the volcano.

On Saturday morning hike to Catarata La Fortuna and in the afternoon hike along the base of the volcano to observe birds, monkeys and other animals.

Sunday morning the group moves on to Monteverde, in the province of Puntarenas, which is famous for its rain forest and protected reserves.
