Costa Rica · 15 days · From USD 1527
This 15-day Spanish and wellness immersion combines daily Spanish classes with hands-on farm life and wellness practices, all set in the lush mountains of Costa Rica. The program is built around the idea that you learn best by doing: you'll practice Spanish while harvesting vegetables, while preparing meals with the community, and while sharing stories with local host families. It's language learning that feels less like studying and more like living.
The mornings follow the farm's rhythm. After a 7:30am breakfast, everyone pitches in with the day's tasks—which could include anything from nursery work and seed saving to composting, mulching, or natural construction with bamboo and clay. The work is real and sometimes physically demanding, but it's also meaningful. You'll see where your food comes from and learn skills that go far beyond language. The farm operates on permaculture principles, so you'll also learn about regenerative agriculture, soil health, and closed-loop systems.
Afternoons are mostly free for rest, reflection, or exploring the land. Three times a week, there's a Spanish class designed around daily life on the farm, making it practical and immediately applicable. Once a week, a group wellness session—yoga, movement, dance, or a fire circle—brings everyone together. Weekends are free, offering a chance to rest or venture into nearby towns.
Your teachers are the farm's founders: Anamor, a linguist and Biodanza facilitator with a permaculture design certificate; Daniela, an environmental engineer specializing in syntropic agroforestry and Reiki practitioner; and Jeff, who has nearly a decade of permaculture experience and teaches natural building. They're all passionate about sharing their knowledge and creating a space where guests feel like part of the community. Reviews praise their warmth and willingness to teach, and many guests say they left with far more than they expected.
The immersion is located at Finca Sol y Valle, a working farm at 1,200 meters above sea level in the community of La Flor, near Santiago de Paraíso. The setting is remote and quiet—no nightlife, just the sounds of the forest. It's an ideal place to unplug, slow down, and reconnect with what matters. Whether you're a beginner or have some Spanish under your belt, the family atmosphere and daily practice will help you gain confidence quickly.
