Homestays are fast becoming a popular phenomenon for travelers. Whether you’re looking to spend your Costa Rica vacation with a family to learn some Spanish, savor the cooking or experience Central American culture. You might be studying Spanish and need a full immersion, or you want to expose your children to a different way of life – the homestay experience is sure to provide you with what you’re looking for. Families in San Gerardo de Rivas have opened their homes to visitors from abroad for many years. Mt Chirripó hikers and volunteers for Proyecto San Gerardoand other local projects have traditionally stayed with local families. So over the years our hosts have learned how to make visitors really feel at home.
