SAN PEDRO, SAN JOSE
for teenagers aged 13 - 17
"SPANISH IMMERSION VACATION"

_______________________________________________________

Enjoy a summer Spanish learning vacation in the capital San Jose.

Learn Spanish in San Jose, the capital and largest city in Costa Rica. Located in the Central Valley, San José is one of the youngest capital cities in Latin America and the center for national government, political, economic activity, and the major transportation hub.

The capital is a busy place, but still quite laid back.San Jose is also a good place for food and shopping. But nowhere is the spirit and feel of San José and its people more evident than in the public parks, squares and markets.
