Hier kannst du die einheimische Küche und die Kultur perfekt kennenlernen.

Am ersten Tag wirst du von deinen Gasteltern zur Schule gebracht. Die Menschen in Costa Rica sind sehr gastfreundlich und lernen auch gerne etwas über andere und neue Kulturen.

Ideal for all programs are at least three months in advance. In principle it is also possible for us to place short-term applicants (volunteering and language study travel) in Costa Rica.
Costa Rica is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.
Please note that in Costa Rica all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.
