Course Description

The 1 or 2 week Christmas program is designed for you to enjoy traditional Costa Rican celebrations and work on your language skills at the same time. Apart from 20 Spanish lessons per week, the school organizes excursions and cultural activities such as visits to typical Costa Rican Christmas gatherings, Costa Rica Christmas Cooking, nativity exhibits and Epiphany parades. Most of these activities are included in the price (except the transport costs and entrance fees). Please keep in mind some of these activities have special dates (like the Lights Parade in San Jose downtown); ask for the special activities before booking :)
Since the course falls in an off-peak period, museums and other sites of interest are often less crowded than at other times of the year. AMISTAD classes are held throughout the entire holiday season, but we do observe the 25th of December, the 1st of January and other local/special holidays.

PRICES

One week $215
