Short-Term Trips

Atlas hosts and organizes short-term trips to Costa Rica for Christian high schools, colleges, churches, and para-church ministries. These trips include both ministry and adventure. Atlas also lines up athletic opportunities for sports teams.

We believe that groups from the States have an amazing opportunity to learn from their experiences in Costa Rica, so we endeavor to make each trip educational and/or athletic with an emphasis on living for Christ. Students may learn about the Bible, culture, Costa Rican history, Spanish, soccer, basketball and other sports; as well as about social issues like poverty and solutions like entrepreneurship.

Atlas customizes trip itineraries for each group’s specific needs, handles transportation, arranges lodging, provides meals, and plans activities and excursions. Atlas is located in Santo Domingo, Heredia, in Costa Rica.

Cost

Starting at $130 per night per person in the group, this price includes a planned itinerary, transportation, lodging, meals, and one excursion. Airfare does not factor into this price. Depending on the group’s activities, the price may increase.
