The City:

• A jewel of Central America, Costa Rica is an oasis of calm. A haven for ecotourism and one of the best places to learn Spanish.
• Costa Rica is located in Central America, bordering with Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the south-southeast, the Pacific Ocean to the west and south, and the Caribbean Sea to the east.
• Playa Flamingo is one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. Situated on the country’s Gold Coast on the Pacific coast of the country. With its sunning white sand, unspoiled beaches and pristine clear blue waters, this is the ideal spot to combine Spanish study with marine activities.
