Day 1

Arrive in San Jose, Costa Rica, and meet your Joshua Expeditions guide once you pass through customs and immigration. You will transfer by bus to the hotel, then have a bit of time to freshen up and, if time permits, maybe even shop at a traditional Costa Rican market in downtown San Jose. Following dinner you will return to the hotel for devotions and a chance to share the day’s experiences.

Day 2

This will be a day of unforgettable white water rafting! The Pacuare River provides an adventurous ride filled with stunning beauty along the entire length of its turning, twisting rapids. The river runs from the country's highest mountain range to the coastal lowlands of the Atlantic, and it is a safe, but very exciting experience!

Day 3

After breakfast, the group will travel to Fortuna and Mt. Arenal, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. You will make a stop along the way in Zarcero for a visit to a church with some very unique landscaping then proceed to the rainforest for a hike down to a spectacular waterfall. In the evening, the group will enjoy the natural hot springs at the foot of the volcano, and if it is a clear night, you will also get to see the mighty fireworks of Arenal!

Day 4

This morning you will soar through the jungle canopy on a zip line tour. You might even want to try out the Tarzan swing! Later, the group will travel back to San Jose via Sarchi to do a little shopping among the local artisan crafts. There will even be a chance to taste some world-renowned Costa Rican coffee, as well. The day will conclude with devotions at the hotel in San Jose.

Day 5

Today you will visit a community of men, women and children whose needs are both physical and spiritual. Along with light construction there are ample opportunities for community projects and evangelistic outreach.

Day 6

On this final day of focused ministry, your group will continue its service to the local community. You may have opportunity for children's clubs, youth ministries, and even Christian concerts. The day will conclude with shared devotions at the hotel.

Day 7

You will enjoy a full day of fun as the group heads out early for a Catamaran cruise to the white sandy island of Tortuga. You will have great food, lots of activities and a whole lot of sun! In the evening your group will enjoy a final night of devotions and have opportunity to share experiences from the week.
