Programme Location
San Jose and Playa Papaturro, Pacific Coast, Costa Rica

Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a beautiful, biologically diverse country. Located in Central America, it has everything to offer the intrepid traveller; with rainforests, white sandy coastlines, volcanoes and more, over 25% of the country is protected through their National preserve system. In addition to this, Costa Rica forms less than 0.1% of the world’s landmass, but it has 5% of the overall biodiversity.

Free Time
San José
San José, the capital of Costa Rica, is situated in the middle of the country making it a convenient location for travelling in Costa Rica. In San José you will find buses that will take you directly to the Atlantic coast, the Pacific coast, the Arenal volcano, Monteverde cloud forest and many other destinations.

Additionally, San José has many social and cultural activities all year-round, including music festivals, concerts at the national theatre, dance clubs and all types of restaurants.

The language school is located in a quiet, secure neighbourhood, close to the well-known San Pedro Mall and a variety of restaurants, cinemas, banks and Internet cafes.

Playa Papaturro

    • Windsurfing lessons (US$30/hour)
