Friends of the Rainforest has been connecting students, educators, families, and friends to the Rainforest for over a decade.

Friends of the Rainforest grew through Rachel Crandell's love for the Children's Eternal Rainforest in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Rachel understood the importance of connecting kids and adults to the Rainforest so they can experience it for themselves. Today, our ecotours have become an integral program of our organization as we continue Rachel's legacy.

Choose to travel with Friends of the Rainforest, and you will help preserve and protect the beautiful land that you are visiting. The 55,000-acre Children's Eternal Rainforest represents the maximum expression of life on Earth in terms of biodiversity, housing an enormous diversity of plants and animal species.

Each trip is organized by Dr. Jeffery Norris, promising a lifetime experience for you, your family and friends.
