Information about Heredia, Costa Rica (Click to view)
Heredia (pop 50,000) is located 6 miles north of San Jose. The city and its surrounding areas provide all the conveniences of a medium-sized city in an environment, which has escaped, to a large extent, the normal urban problems affecting the capital. The city has a surprisingly youthful and urban feeling despite its small size. This is due to the presence of the many young Costa Ricans attending the National University. Many of Costa Rica’s famous coffee plantations surround Heredia where one can still see ox-carts loaded with beans.
Known as the Switzerland of Central America, Costa Rica has an abundance of natural beauty and is populated by a friendly, well-educated people. Costa Rica has obtained the highest standard of living in Central America by embracing democracy and disbanding its army. This small country is a paradise for nature lovers with national parks, jungles, volcanoes, beaches, and more water per square mile than any other country in the world, excluding New Zealand. However, the small pre-Columbian indigenous population was wiped out by diseases brought to the new world by the conquistadors.
Participants: Mixed ages, various skill levels
Other: After the Spanish & Salsa week, you can continue studying at the main campus in Heredia w/ 2-3 dance lessons/week or switch to the Samara Beach campus w/ 1 dance lesson/week.
