Learn Spanish in Panama and Costa Rica - Travel and Spanish lessons along the road

4 different destinations, 2 countries, Spanish lessons and be part of group travel. We found your dream trip for a Spanish course in Costa Rica and Panama! Our Traveling Classroom is one of our best sellers for a reason. You will get to know the places you visit, the culture and the language. During the Panama and Costa Rica Traveling Classroom, we will visit Panama City, Boquete, and Bocas del Toro in Panama and Turrialba in Costa Rica. At each school, you have Spanish lessons in a small group class. During this Spanish immersion program, you will have a total of 72 hours of Spanish lessons in group classes. In every location, you do very cool tours and excursions. Like ziplining, a sailing trip, or rafting. But the highlight of this language adventure is in our opinion the unbelievably beautiful excursion to the San Blas islands. This is a group of approximately 365 islands, with parts where no one else goes to. Some of them are uninhabited and you will see the most beautiful white sandy beaches that you have ever seen in your life. Join us for the Panama and Cosa Rica Traveling classroom and check it out yourself! Do you like more Guatemala or South America? You could also join our Traveling Classroom in Guatemala and see tempels and volcanoes, or explore the best parts of Ecuador on a Traveling classroom in Ecuador!

Week 1: Panama City and San Blas Islands

The Traveling classroom starts in Panama City. We will pick you up from the airport on Sunday and bring you to the hostel. This starting week is full of fun activities. You will go on a walking tour to Casco Viejo, to see the oldest part of Panama. With the most important history marks of Panama and interesting places. Another must-do where we take you is Miraflores. Here you will see the famous Panama Canal and how the huge ships pass. With a Latin dance class, we bring you further in the week and also in the Latin vibes. Expect salsa, bachata, and merengue with a local dance instructor. But the best of this week we save for the last. After your 3 days of Spanish lessons in Panama, you will leave on Thursday for the San Blas islands. Here we enjoy paradise with islands full of coconut trees, perfect white sand beaches, and surrounded by turquoise water. You spend 2 nights with indigenous people in little huts and you will be amazed by the idyllic tropical beauty of the San Blas Islands. We have also time for swimming and snorkeling with a shipwreck.

Week 2: Boquete

After coming back on Saturday from the spectacular San Blas Islands. We travel with our group and teacher on Sunday from Panama City to Boquete by local bus. The cool climate in Boquete is great for studying, a lot of progress can be made here. We will organize for you a traditional cooking class and another dance lesson. But the most exciting activity during this week is a Zipline tour with 13 different canopy stations. You will discover Panama's rainforest from high above the sky and admire its beauty. If this doesn´t give you an adrenaline boost then we don´t know what to do else! You will have also time to go on hiking and explore nearby waterfalls and hot springs. This week you have a full week of Spanish lessons. After all the good work the Spanish school in Boquete will organize a BBQ on Friday with happy hour drinks on the house!

Week 3: Bocas del Toro

The following Saturday. We will travel six hours by bus and boat from the highland town of Boquete to the Caribbean Island of Bocas del Toro for another language school in Panama. On Sunday, we will spoil you immediately with a lot of fun on a sailing trip with relaxing and snorkeling. We do this for a reason. We want you to get used to the Caribbean lifestyle from day 1! The week is pretty laidback and a cooking class and dance lesson are part of the Spanish immersion program. But it´s mostly about exploring the many beautiful beaches. Some require a bit of effort and an adventurous spirit while others are just a few minutes from the school. Bocas is also a nice place to go out. It´s full of restaurants and bars, there is even a disco built out over the water. It´s the answer to your night-time entertainment. At the Spanish school in Bocas del Toro, you can organize some optional activities by yourself like kayaking or even a dive course. With another 20 hours of Spanish lessons this week, you start to become better and better at Spanish! The classes in Bocas end on Friday with another Happy Hour during the BBQ.

Week 4: Turrialba

Once again, we make a trip by boat and bus during the weekend. But this time you will get another stamp on your passport from a different country: Costa Rica.  Turrialba is a super laid-back charming little town. With some amazing views of Costa Rica´s rural countryside, and surrounded by volcanoes, rivers, and rainforests in the lush and beautiful valley. There are many hikes and outdoor activities in the area to discover. There are also not many tourists, so it´s the perfect place to practice everything that you have learned so far with the local “Ticos” (a nickname for Costa Ricans). During the last week of this Spanish immersion program. You will have a Costa Rican cooking lesson and a dance lesson. There is also plenty of time to enjoy nature and local village life. You receive another 20 hours of Spanish lessons and we offer you the possibility to do a level test. At the final Happy Hour during the barbecue, certificates will be handed to all the participants. We will celebrate this all together. As `Grand finale` we take you on a 2-day rafting excursion with stunning natural beauty and exciting rapids. The rafting campsite, located in the heart of the jungle, is the ideal place to learn about the rainforest. It will give us also time to relax in a hammock and check out the toucans and sloths! You will realise what a smart decision it was to participate in this unique and wonderful Traveling classroom!
