We are incouraging students from around the world on the exchange programs or spanish learning centers to either find us once in this country or to contact us before coming down, so we can offer them the chance to train while learning spanish with others from Costa Rica. We are actually working on a program of spanish and track training with a learning center in this beautiful country. As soon as possible it will be posted in this web site, please be looking for it. Ofcourse we are accepting ideas from similar projects around the world already in operation. . For more information make a phone call to:
