About the location
Jacó beach is on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, south of Puntarenas and north of Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica. Fly into to San Jose and head out to Jacó beach for an activity holiday of a lifetime.
This friendly school teaches Spanish, yoga, digital photography and surfing. You can choose to learn one of these or combine two activities and take home two new skills from your trip to Costa Rica.
Playa Jaco has a reputation for having some of the most consistent surf and as such attracts surfers from around the world. Surf courses start each week and are suitable for all levels from beginners to advanced surfers and in a town where surf boards are more common than mobile phones, it's the perfect place to learn to surf.
If it's Spanish lessons you are looking for then this professional school uses international Spanish teaching guidelines with a heavy emphasis on developing Spanish speaking skills that will help you if you are looking to continue your travels around South America after your stay in Jaco.
The lush tropical surroundings of Costa Rica offer so many photo opportunities and combining Spanish, yoga or surf lessons with a digital photography course means you'll bring home pictures you'll be proud to show your friends and family. Get out of the classroom and see Costa Rica through the lens of a camera for a unique tropical experience.
And if all that adventure and activity is too much, why not relax, revive and restore yourself with a yoga course. Absorb the peaceful atmosphere during your yoga lessons and feel the tranquillity of this unique location truly relax you.
Jacó beach is a lively fun place to holiday, visitors can enjoy a wide variety of nightlife and day time activities include horse riding, canopy tours, and hiking through the bordering jungles. Just 9 miles north is the Carara Biological Reserve, a vital nesting ground for Costa Rica's famous scarlet macaws.
Things get busy between in the Summer season from November and April so early booking is advised with a 'secondary' season from June to August but year round a visit to this unique school is a must for anyone looking for a Costa Rican learning holiday with a difference.
