If you are looking for a good school to learn Spanish and have fun to discover some new places I can really recommend spanish@locations.
Cozy hostels, fantastic outdoor classrooms, great teachers and people! Ingrid and her staff are amazing, I had a wonderful time in Turrialba and Puerto Viejo…for sure will come back!
Muchas gracias y Pura Vida!

I will never forget this amazing experience and consider it to be one of the top experiences of my life.
Staff and teachers were so accommodating and took excellent care of us. They are all very kind, interesting people who encouraged us to use our Spanish while there. Turrialba was special because I was able to do bird watching right there on the terrace while waiting for my class to start. Puerto Viejo had beautiful beaches and delicious restaurants!
Mountains, rivers, and deep cultural connection.
