Would you like to study Spanish abroad in beautiful
Costa Rica this summer?
Costa Rica is a relatively small country, half the size of the state of Kentucky, with a permanent spring climate - 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 C). If you love nature, Costa Rica is a place where twenty percent of the territory made up of forest reserves, dozens of national reserves, parks, rain forests, white sanded and secluded beaches on two oceans and active volcanoes! It contains close to a thousand species of birds, hundreds of mammals, and over ten thousand species of plants. The people of Costa Rica are called “Ticos” and are among the most friendly, polite and social people in the world. Although, San Jose is a large, densely populated city, it is just a short distance from beautiful beaches, volcanoes, rain forests, and national parks.
