City life
One of Costa Rica's most popular coastal towns, Playa Tamarindo has a tropical climate with plenty of sun for enjoying the surrounding white beaches, national parks and breathtaking mountains. Learn Spanish in this relaxed beach town with a youthful nightlife and access to untouched nature.
Explore
On the weekends join an EF excursion and visit an active volcano, go trekking in a rainforest, discover spectacular natural wonders such as hot springs and waterfalls, or learn to surf along the coastline. When sun sets, practice your Spanish by allowing the locals, called Ticos, to teach you salsa and you will certainly never want to leave.
Volunteering
This help is invaluable, the experience unforgettable, and the options varied. Included are: environmental, educational, and social organizations plus nature reserves such as a monkey park. After your course is complete, go live and work within or nearby a community for a number of weeks.
