Costa Rica
"I went to Puriscal for my 50th birthday, and I am very happy with my choice. It was a wonderful experience. It was fulfilling and fun at the same time. I understood from the literature I received in advance that we would possibly be doing something in the afternoons, but did not realize we would see a volcano, rainforest, a festival, etc. It was great."Rob Braverman, Costa Rica volunteer
