Day 1

Your group will take a flight to San Jose, Costa Rica, where your Joshua Expeditions guide will meet you 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, do some shopping 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.

Days 2-4

Physical and spiritual needs are great within the communities of Costa Rica. Over the next three days you will work with a local ministry serving the people of the San Jose area. You might find yourself hosting Children's Clubs or performing concerts for the community. You may have opportunity to assist a local organization with light construction work or perhaps volunteer in one of their outreach programs. Every task offers a chance for evangelism as you are challenged to share your faith through both word and deed. Your group will work with a JE coordinator to find the best fit. In the evenings you will share dinner together and take time for group devotions.

Day 5

This morning the group will travel to La Fortuna and Mt. Arenal, one of the world's most active volcanoes. On the way, you will stop by Zarcero for a visit to a church with some very unique landscaping, and later, while in the rainforest, you will hike down to a spectacular waterfall. In the evening, your group will enjoy the natural hot springs at the foot of the volcano, and if it is a clear night, you may even get to see the mighty fireworks of Arenal! The day will close at your hotel with a time of shared devotions.

Day 6

Today the group will head out on a jungle zip line excursion. This is an experience you will never forget! Following lunch, you will travel back to San Jose by way of the small town of Sarchi, which features a vast marketplace of traditional artisan crafts. While you are shopping in Sarchi you will see painted ox carts � the symbol of Costa Rica � and have the opportunity to sample Costa Rican coffee, if you like. This final evening will close with dinner and devotions at your hotel in San Jose.
