šŸ‡ØšŸ‡· These courses will take place at Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat, surrounded by the Costa Rican rainforest. Monkeys, sloths, frogs, and other curious creatures have all visited the classroom in the past. There are a huge array of activities available to visitors who want to make a longer trip out of their course ā€“ everything from educational rainforest walks, to whitewater kayaking is available. Pricing varies by lodging package.

These courses are generally a mix of locals and travelers, so you will have an opportunity to interface and learn from each other. There are English, Spanish, and mixed language courses available - if you want to improve your medical Spanish this is a very unique opportunity.
