If you’re ready for a break from your daily summer routine and you’re eager to share the adventure and learning experience of a lifetime with your peers, school or organization, then Pura Vida Language Institute in Costa Rica is the place for you!

The program takes place in San Joaquín de Flores, Heredia Costa Rica.

Students can arrive anytime before program begins but we recommend that they be here at least a couple of days in advance. The students will be picked up at the airport and taken to their host family’s house.

Students will have 3 hours of Spanish classes each day from Monday to Friday. Spanish classes will be held in the morning from 9 am to 12 noon.

There will be a chaperone (Spanish teacher) with the students at all times. They will pick up the students from their host family’s homes and take them to school every day. The Chaperone will also supervise student activities and tours and will be available to the students 24 hours a day.

There will be new and exciting tours every weekend including journeys to Manuel Antonio beach and national park and Monteverde cloud forest.

Most of the transportation will be provided by a private minibus company but we will also be utilizing the public bus system.

Students will stay with host families and will be placed according to their preferences. They can choose from single or double student occupancy. On weekend tours students will stay in hotels and share rooms with other students of the same gender.

Students will need extra money to pay for lunch and souvenirs during the week and on weekend tours. They will need around $70 per week in additional spending money.
