DISCOVER COSTA RICA WITH MICHIGAN PUBLIC
You can escape the cold dark winter days and fly south to a jungle paradise with friends of Michigan Public in sun-soaked Costa Rica. You’ll join Michigan Public’s Rebecca Williams and Costa Rican guide and naturalist Minor Alfaro on this tropical expedition, where you’ll discover a vibrant land unlike any other.
Costa Rica boasts greater biodiversity than all of Europe and North America, with over 850 species of birds and more butterflies than on the entire continent of Africa. Explore lush jungles, stroll the shores of starlit beaches and view an abundance of exotic wildlife, like toucans, quetzals, monkeys and sloths. Sultry breezes, tropical gardens, and colorful birds are all part of the exuberant Pura Vida ("pure life") of Costa Rica. Experience it for yourself, but don’t wait - space in paradise is limited!
