Study Spanish in Costa Rica
 
In Costa Rica, depending on the program and location you choose, there is an option to visit an organic coffee farm. Finca organica has been a common trend in the country, considering the resources available.

When you study abroad, not only do you learn to speak Spanish, but also get immersed into the daily lives of the locals. The pictures below are some of the students who participated on a Medical Spanish program, in Turrialba. 

Students where taught the techniques to run the organic farm. All the materials within the farm was used and recycled to generate the final product. At the end of the tour, students where treated to fresh organic coffee samples, included, warm milk from the cow.

"I had an amazing time in Costa Rica and I developed a real fondness for the laid back and 'carpe diem' Costa Rican culture. Further, I discovered an adventurous side which I didn't even know that I had to the degree that I do have and, now, indulge freely! Between the wonderful fish and plantain desserts I feasted upon, the amazing time white water rafting and overnight camping along the Pacuare, the incredibly informative experience I had at CATIE learning about the flora, the wonderful Costa Rican people I met during my travels and the beautiful scenery from the volcanoes to simply gorgeous waterfalls, I have a love affair with Costa Rica. I am eager to return to this wonderful, laid back and inspiring country."
