Students will choose a national park in Costa Rica and use reliable websites, including SINAC-Costa Rica and Visit Costa Rica, to research and complete a simple Spanish-language report.
This activity is a great way to combine Spanish language practice, cultural exploration, research skills, and real-world learning while introducing students to Costa Rica's incredible natural landscapes and tourist destinations.
Students will research:
Nombre del parque – the name of their chosen national park
Mapa y ubicación – where the park is located in Costa Rica
Actividades y destinos para turistas – places tourists can visit and popular activities
The location of the park using a map of Costa Rica
The structured format provides students with clear prompts while giving them the freedom to choose the Costa Rican national park they would like to explore.

Spanish research projects
Early-intermediate Spanish learners
Sub plans or independent work
Geography and cultural exploration
