What To Expect

Universidad de Costa Rica
We will visit the Campus of the University of Costa Rica, which holds some of the largest patches of forest in the San José Metro Area.

On our first stop, we will look for resident and migratory birds, lots of incredible insects and amazing flowers.

Then, we will see the largest indigenous stone sphere (which is world heritage) in San José.

Lastly, we'll visit the main campus where the sloths live freely and hopefully find some tasty berries.
