Coast to Coast

8 weeks · Pacific Coast & Caribbean Coast

Experience the best of Costa Rica on an unforgettable 8-week journey across the country, combining Spanish immersion, surf or yoga, meaningful volunteer experiences, and incredible adventures from the Pacific to the Caribbean coast.

Starting in Santa Teresa, you'll develop your Spanish skills, enjoy surf or yoga sessions, and become part of our community at Jakera Jungle Camp. Along the way, you'll contribute to turtle conservation at CIRENAS, explore the spectacular cloud forests of Monteverde, and immerse yourself in sustainable living and community projects at Finca Las Hormigas on the Caribbean coast.

Discover the richness of Caribbean culture through an authentic experience with the Bribri Indigenous community, where you'll have the opportunity to learn about ancestral traditions, cacao ceremonies, medicinal plants, storytelling, and their deep connection with nature.

Your journey continues with time to explore the vibrant Caribbean town of Puerto Viejo and its surrounding beaches, followed by a week dedicated to wildlife conservation at NATUWA, where you'll learn about and contribute to the care and protection of Costa Rica's incredible wildlife.

Finally, return to Santa Teresa for your last week at Jakera, continuing your Spanish lessons and enjoying more surf, yoga, and time with the community.

Your journey. Two coasts. Eight unforgettable weeks.
