While there are no formal classes on the Costa Rica Rainforest Language Immersion program, students improve their language skills through a commitment to speak Spanish with their trip mates, leaders and the local community. The trip begins in San Jose and continues onto the following locations: El Brujo, San Gerardo de Dota, San Isidro, Uvita, Manuel Antonio, Zarcero and La Fortuna. Students receive a certificate for 35 hours of service. Tour memebers must have completed at least 2 years of Spanish to participate in this program.

Safety and supervision is our number one priority.  We are incredibly diligent when it comes to the use of safety equipment, helmets and certified lifeguards. Every staff member is certified in First Aid and CPR.  Incredible scrutiny is taken in recruiting the staff team to provide you with responsible and dynamic individuals who have proven leadership abilities.  Our commitment to each and every tour member is a responsibility that is shared by all of our group leaders.

We will be working with the following Community Service Partners: Hogar Ama Orphanage, Uvita School and San Gerardo Farm Project. We will also be having a 3-day group stay at the Rainforest Lodge with the Fonseca family. Amazing Daytime & Evening Activities include: zip line, spiritual ceremony at a sweat lodge, medicinal plant garden and interactive program with shaman Papa Albino, waterfall rappelling, tree climbing, soccer tournament, white water rafting the Naranjo River, surfing Uvita, kayaking, Canopy Tour, Arenal Volcano National Park and much more.

We will be traveling on a 32-passenger Mercedes Benz 207 bus equipped with air condition and DVD players.
