Volcanoes of Costa Rica
Travelling to Costa Rica
to study the geology of the region was one of the most rewarding and enlightening
experiences of my life. As a last minute decision, I agreed to join the
group to get some school credit and a lot of field experience at the same
time. The group was a mixture of students from Brevard with varying degrees
and interests. During Spring Break of my junior year at Brevard College
(2001) 21 other students and I along with two fearless leaders travelled
south to Costa Rica to study the geologic features of the region.
Our "studying" involved hiking, or riding horses, to the tops of volcanoes,
interacting with the local populace and snorkeling in the Caribbean to
view the devastated coral reefs. We travelled from cities to towns to the
coast making friends and seeing the country. Our guide service, International
Adventures Unlimited, provided us with a thourough experience and incredible
service.
