» Costa Rica with Ted Levin, April 2010

Join VPR's trip to Costa Rica- April 5-16, 2010!

Join naturalist and VPR commentator Ted Levin on a nature lover's trek through Costa Rica where you'll see some of the best wildlife conservation in the world.

About the size of West Virginia, politically stable and democratic, peace-loving Costa Rica has conserved more than 25% of its land as national parks and wildlife reserves and supports 5% of all the known species on Earth. A panoply of dry-forests, jungles and cloud forests, lowlands and mountains, laced by rivers and streams, punctuated by active volcanoes, Costa Rica's bio-diversity is astounding and thrilling. We'll have the chance to see noisy howler monkeys and neon-blue morpho butterflies as big as saucers, American crocodiles and speckled caimans. Bird watching in Costa Rica is unparalleled. We'll see resplendent quetzals and scarlet macaws.  In all, there are more than 820 species of resident and neotropical migrant birds. We may see pokey three-toed sloths, slow and deliberate enough for algae to grow on their backs, jaguars and ocelots. Five species of sea turtles nest on the shores of Costa Rica, including Earths' largest arribada - between 400,000 and a million olive Ridleys - so thick that the beach at Ostional looks like a cobblestone boulevard paved with turtle shells.

The cost of this trip is $4995 for double occupancy and includes everything- airfare, hotels, all meals, tours, gratituties, etc. Proceeds of the trip benefit the programming you love on VPR and VPR Classical.

To register for this trip, get more information about the itinerary or request a brochure by mail please contact Ty Robertson at 800-639-2192 or by email.
