See our Small Group programs.
EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
If you’re looking for a more flexible schedule with ample independent time and several meals on your own, then our FLEX learning adventures are made for you.

Aptly titled: - Fabulous accommodations; Unbelievable vistas; Exciting activities; and a Guide who is indeed the "fourth jewel" of Costa Rico. - The program has the perfect itinerary for exploring this marvelous country.

This was a great trip. I highly recommend it! There was an interesting variety of activities plus free time, and our guide, Edwin, was one of the best I've had.

This was an excellent first time Road Scholar trip for me.We had an excellent guide(Edwin),great housing,a variety of tasty food with a Costa Rica flavor,enriching experiences whether it be hiking in the cloud forests,birding,rafting,and of course the zip line experience.All the logistics worked out well from the time I left to the time I returned to the USA.
Our group of 12 was just the right size and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing from each of them about their varied travel experiences.I learned alot as I prepare for my next trip.I highly reccomend this program.

Three Jewels in Paradise was the perfect escape from our frigid Minnesota winter! Road Scholar's total immersion into the Costa Rican culture suited me well as I'm not a "sit on the beach" vacationer.
