Costa Rica School Trip Reimagined for Students
When most people think of Costa Rica, they imagine lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and exotic wildlife. But at Evolve Tours, we see something even more meaningful: a place where nature becomes a teacher and every moment is a chance to learn.
Costa Rica isn’t just a destination - it’s a living laboratory for students. And we’re proud to be reimagining what student trips to Costa Rica can look like - immersive, hands-on, and deeply aligned with educational values. Our itineraries for middle and high school groups dive into the country’s biodiversity, sustainability practices, and vibrant culture.

Our Costa Rica school trips are designed to go beyond sightseeing. Students will engage in conservation work, connect with local communities, and explore ecosystems through guided, curriculum-aligned experiences.
