Homestay in Potrero
Favorite thing: There are a huge amount of Spanish Language schools opening up. It is a good opportunity to do a homestay and learn what life is really like for the Costa Ricans. Many of the schools also offer dance classes, cooking classes, tours and much more. I really enjoyed my 3 weeks with CPI and along with the obvious wonderful experiences like the above it was also a great opportunity to meet people from many other places around the United States and the world wanting to learn spanish also.
There are classes up in cloud forests, down on the shore and everywhere in between.
Fondest memory: This was a great homestay. The home was in Potrero but the school was in Flamingo. What a great walk/ride every day either along the road with the monkeys and birds or along the shore.
The beaches there are really nice.
