It has a great variety of  flora and fauna, and is surrounded by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It covers a territory of 51,000 square kilometers. It’s many natural attractions include more than a dozen volcano’s, rain forests, and stunning beaches. Costa Rica has set aside a quarter of its land for nation al parks. No other country n the world has done this. It is a wildlife lovers dream. This combination of natural wonders makes Costa Rica one of the most visited countries in Latin America. Costa Rica is an excellent choice to study Spanish abroad The people of Costa Rica, also known as "Ticos," have their own culture and traditions and are very welcoming to visitors. If you want to learn Spanish in Costa Rica you first must learn about "pura vida." It can be used as a greeting or as a goodbye, but it mostly applies to the Tico way of life. You can feel it as you raft the rapids of the magnificent Naranjo River, hold a conversation with an "abuela" (grandmother) about her favorite recipes, or watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean from the beach. It is a love of life, a feeling of community, a sense of pride in a peaceful history, and a willingness to share. Quepos Quepos is one of the Central Pacific's most well sort after destinations. Partly because it has a 'funky' beach town (15,000 people)  feel to it, and also due to its proximity to fantastic Parque Nacional Manual Antonio. There are beaches right her in town, including our local surf beach! The town has a 'go for it feel' - with dozens of  tour operators who run adventure trips into the raging rivers and wild mountain terrain just outside town. The streets are often deserted during the day when travelers are out exploring, or surfing, but come sunset, doors and windows open up everywhere, and the chatter of an upbeat population mixes with the relaxing beat of Latino music.
