Our school is located in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, a natural paradise in the south-east of Costa Rica, surrounded by lush tropical jungle, pristine beaches, national parks and a unique world of animals, birds and plants along the beautiful Caribbean coast.
Here you will meet people from all over the world, have a wide variety of activities and learn Spanish with the help of our professional teachers who love their work.
At the same time, you will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned directly on the spot. This way you will experiencie the latin culture on a whole new level, interact with local people, make friends and thus enrich your trip.
Equally important is having company along the way, meeting fellow travelers and adventure seekers with whom to share experiences. Join the "Pura Vida family" where you will learn Spanish, spend free time and have fun in the community with like-minded people!
We are more than just a school: The "Pura Vida" is a peaceful oasis in the heart of Puerto Viejo, which provides a pleasant setting for learning. A language course with us includes a harmonious master plan, physical and spiritual activity.
As a counterbalance to studying Spanish we offer yoga, workout and meditation as well as common leisure activities. This clear the mind for the coming day of classes.
In our student lodge there is plenty of space to either withdraw or exchange ideas with the other students. The holistic approach is rounded off by shared meals made from healthy, fresh ingredients.
At "Pura Vida" the name says it all: a meeting place for open minded people of all ages who love nature, want to live healthily, gain new experiences and broaden their horizons a shared home away frome home!
