Spanish Immersion in Costa Rica - Montezuma Language School

La Escuela Del Sol, Montezuma:
La Escuela Del Sol in Costa Rica is an immersion program for people who want to learn Spanish fast while having an adventure in a tropical paradise. We're located in Montezuma, a picturesque little town known for its tranquility, its beauty and its sense of adventure, on the eastern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica.

Whether this is your first attempt to learn the language or the culmination of a lifelong quest, Costa Rica is an unbeatable place to study Spanish. “Ticos,” world famous for their spirit of life and hospitality are also well known for what’s widely agreed upon, as the “cleanest” and most understandable accent of all Spanish speaking countries. All of our teachers have achieved college degrees and teach a university level curriculum to guarantee you a top of the line education.

Studying in Montezuma will give you the chance to practice with the locals and improve upon your learning in a fun, supportive and beautiful environment. Our school & hotel are right across the street from the ocean, and just minutes walk from one of the most beautiful beaches you’ll ever see.

On one side of our school & hotel, we graze the Montezuma river, which leads to three separate waterfalls. On the other side, we’re nestled by the tropical rain forest. Many times, you’ll walk out of your room to see monkeys swinging in the trees and multi-colored birds you’ve never imagined.

Costa Rica, being only 10 degrees from the equator, offers an unparalleled multiplicity of flora and fauna throughout the nation. Some of the highlights include 1,500 distinct types of trees and 6,000 types of flowering plants, including 1,000 species of orchids alone. Add to that 830 identified species of birds and countless mammals and reptiles and you can see how Costa Rica is believed to be the most bio-diverse land area on the planet.
