  • 13 Jan - 23 Jan
In the middle of January (13-23.01.2023) Tripsy club will take you on a magical adventure in magical Costa Rica. We've named the tripe Pura Vida because it's something you'll hear a lot from the locals (or Ticos as they're known there). It is used for many things - greetings, thanks, yes, etc., but generally speaking it is an expression of happiness, optimism and getting the most out of life. We are sure that after this adventure you will return with such a feeling. Costa Rica has over 1,000 km of coastline divided into both the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean, has over 110 volcanoes (only 5 of which are still active), 28% of the country's area is protected natural parks, and is divided by 12 distinctive ecological zones varied from cloud forests, tropical forests, mangrove forests, dry forests, etc. and this is why it is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. The program is not very exciting and full of adventure every day and you will meet amazing animals spread from the tropical forests of Costa Rica, and finally you will begin to deserve some of the most beautiful beaches of the country.
