Get ready to become an explorer of one of the world's most vibrant tropical biodiversity hotspots, where rich indigenous cultures and hands-on discovery await! Join Temple University's Field Station Explorations series and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute for an immersive eco-tour through Costa Rica's breathtaking ecosystems and communities. Not only will you visit CoopeSarapiqui’s eco-friendly coffee plantation and glide through Tortuguero’s remote, wildlife-rich canals, but you’ll also engage directly in some citizen science projects and conservation efforts.
