Spanish Immersion and Wellness Program
Daily Tours and Activities
Visit animal rescue centers and La Paz waterfall, explore Poas volcano and a coffee farm, zip-lining and tropical canopy excursions, meet locals and practicing Spanish at the small farmers markets, and take a catamaran excursion to Tortuga Island and enjoy banana boating, snorkeling, music, and a tropical beach buffet.
Daily Spanish Lessons
Throughout the day students will be encouraged to only speak Spanish. Instructors, chefs as well as tour and excursion guides will use games, indoor and outdoor activities, grammar lessons, listening activities, and speaking exercises to further develop listening and speaking in Spanish. Several nights students will have Spanish cooking lessons with a private chef. Students will also keep a daily Spanish journal where they can explain what they did each day and will be encouraged to include photos.
Changing Lives all over the World
Students will get the opportunity to visit and volunteer at a local elementary school where they will work with some of the under-privileged kids in the area and give them back to school kits provided by Villas Del Rey. This will create a meaningful experience for both our students and the underprivileged kids in Costa Rica, which will open minds and set all students on a path towards international cooperation and leadership.
