Intercultura does a fantastic job! This review is kind of 3-in-1 because of all of the different things they offer. I was able to drop in and attend the language school for 5 days. My teacher Dariella was knowledgable, friendly and accommodating. There are students of all ages from around the world at any given time in the summer, which makes a great cultural experience even that much better! My 16 year old was very easily able to start our trip a week in advance of the rest of the family, and see another part of Costa Rica (Heredia) because of Intercultura's original city campus, homestay and teen programs! Then my 14 year old (who couldn't go in advance because of her schedule) was able to join Intercultura at the Samara campus midway through the teen program. The chaperones and other kids were so welcoming and she fell right in with everyone. The kids were busy, engaged, and had some independence in Samara because of their involvement with the school, which was a great way to travel. Their Spanish improved tremendously because of the immersion program.

Our guide was Mirjana, who was an excellent guide and highly knowledgeable about the biodiversity in this area. We loved this nature hike and enjoyed seeing the wildlife, which consisted of birds, a tarantula, bats, and the amazing flora indigenous to Costa Rica. This hike was much different from the nature preserve we took in the rain forest where we saw sloths and monkeys, so, for us, we were grateful to go on this hike and experience the rich diversity of Costa Rica. It is a tranquil experience, not an adrenaline rush, and was a good speed for our group ranging from 30 to 65 years-old. We took the morning hike, as we thought it might be too hot in the afternoon. At the end of our hike we enjoyed freshly cut pineapple. So happy we did this tour!
