With its tropical climate, fresh food, and relaxed lifestyle, Costa Rica is an enchanting place to discover a new culture. By living with a host family and attending a local high school, you’ll get an inside look at this idyllic society. Let the country whose national saying is “Pura Vida” (“pure life”) show you how to take time and appreciate the good things. You’ll be much more than a tourist dropping in for a few days and sticking to the well-trod attractions; this year or semester program will give you the opportunity to eat, drink, and breathe Costa Rican culture, to learn the language and get to know the people.
