 Rainforests, Volcanoes and PhotographyMarch 19–27, 2010 (Spring Break) Rainforests, Volcanoes and Photography in Costa Rica! Spend your spring break climbing up to see a volcanic crater (or maybe in a hot tub watching them erupt), sliding a zip line in the upper level of a tropical canopy forest and photographing exotic plants and animals in the rainforest at a good time of year for travel. You will learn about the geologic history of the tropics and how well North American species did when first meeting South American competitors, you will delight in the diversity and survival specializations in the amazing tropics, and you may be involved in producing pictures and tapes of this splendid experience. Join us for an exciting Adventure to Costa Rica!
