Immersion Spanish Program - The Pura Vida Program – Learn Spanish & Explore Monteverde
The Pura Vida Program is designed for those who want to improve their Spanish without giving up the freedom to explore Costa Rica.
With 2 hours of Spanish classes per day, Monday through Friday, you’ll have a lighter learning schedule and plenty of time to experience Monteverde’s cloud forests, wildlife, adventure activities, local culture, and relaxed way of life.
Classes are taught in small groups of 1–4 students, allowing for personalized attention while keeping the experience social and engaging.
Ideal for travelers, digital nomads, families, and anyone looking to combine Spanish with more time to enjoy Monteverde.
The Pura Vida Program at CPI Monteverde offers a flexible and engaging approach to learning Spanish while ensuring that you have time to enjoy your stay in Costa Rica. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to improve your Spanish skills, our experienced CPI instructors will guide you through practical, real-life conversations in small group settings (1-4 students per class).
For those looking for a full immersion experience, you can also opt for a homestay with a local Costa Rican family. This gives you the chance to practice your Spanish daily and experience authentic Costa Rican hospitality.
