July 23 – August 5, 2017
This 2-week adventure is priced at just $2,299!
The second of our two sessions will be held in the northwestern Province of Guanacaste in Hojancha, and in the town of La Fortuna near the Arenal Volcano.
The first half of our trip we’ll be staying with amazing host families, and when we’re in La Fortuna, we’ll stay at a great hotel with air conditioning a pool.
We have hosted many workshops, courses and groups in these areas. It’s always a big hit. Especially the host families! Deep bonds are formed, and many times students come back to visit their “new families.” The wholesome and welcoming people of Guanacaste, the remarkable Arenal volcano, and the beautiful Pacific beaches all contribute to eye-opening learning and growth experiences.
