  :: School Trips to Latin America > Samara, Costa Rica
 

Just as some of the largest countries on earth contain vast expanses of empty, barren land, some of the smallest countries on earth contain what can only be considered an unfairly large and spectacular proportion of the world’s bio-diversity. You could easily miss Costa Rica on a map – it’s not even half the size of the U.S. state of Kentucky. Yet the “Rich Coast ”of Central America is an adventure playground of tropical rainforests, active volcanoes, cascading rivers, deep blue lakes, exotic beaches, incredible surf, millions of species of flora and fauna and much, much more.

Those coming to learn Spanish in Costa Rica may think they have died and gone to linguistic heaven when they arrive in Sámara. This tranquil community boasts one of Costa Rica's prettiest and safest beaches - 5km of soft white sand fringed by palm trees, in a protected coral reef bay. Located on the country's north-western Pacific coast, Sámara is a coveted spot for holidaying ticos (Costa Ricans) and tourists coming to chill out or take to the water for surfing, boogie boarding, swimming and kayaking. Back on dry land, activities include biking, horse-riding and forest canopy tours, to say nothing of ubiquitous wildlife spotting.

School Trip Samara, Costa Rica

 

The wonderful new school in Sámara offers classes year-round at its brand new, beachfront campus in Sámara, Guanacaste. Samara is located on the northern Pacific coast in the Guanacaste region. It is 5km long, lined with palm trees, and enjoys a calm, clear water ocean in a protected coral reef bay. You can swim, dive, snorkel, kayak and surf/boogie board.

The school is a great option for groups as Samara is a small safe town without the big hotel developments and nightclubs you can find in other Costa Rican towns on the Pacific Coast. There is also plenty to do in the afternoons and quiet, beautiful beaches to relax on.
