Why Global Trails

“ The best educational, fun, and authentic abroad trip our school has ever done ”

With every school different, and each classroom unique, we realize that student travel itineraries are not one size fits all. Because of this, when you work with us you will receive personalized service and a high attention to detail ensuring your student travel trip is exactly how you want it.

To achieve this high level of service, we accept only 20 school groups per year.

Extraodinary, personalized Latin America itineraries

With local guides, our own infrastructure and decades of running student travel groups, our itineraries are 100% custom to each class and are offered at the best rates possible for the high level of service. View sample itineraries below.

Your standards, our service

Too many student travel companies prioritize profits over quality of service. We don’t do that. By focusing on custom, one-of-a-kind experiences, you’ll receive an abroad trip that’s like no other. Exactly what you want, personalized to your class.

  • Your trip is your trip. We never pair school groups together.
  • Customize anything & everything.
  • Local guides, and accommodations that are owned by us, not outsourced.
  • Immersive Homestay Experiences: Connect deeply with Costa Rican culture through our homestay option
  • Safety and support, every step of the way
