Costa Rica Plant and Wildlife Sciences

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hear howler monkeys bellowing their booming voices across the rain forest canopy? Or to swim through the incredibly colorful coral of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast? This trip will take you on a voyage through some of the world’s most spectacular tropical landscapes, home to an array of diverse and unique plant and animal species. You will have an opportunity to meet and interact with indigenous people and cultures, explore the Caribbean coast, hike in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and Arenal Volcano National Park, and observe tropical wildlife—experiences that could change your life. This trip fulfills the BYU motto: making the world our campus.

“Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you . . . of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth . . . of things which are at home, things which are abroad . . . and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms—that ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you” (D&C 88:78–80).
