Who We Are:

At La Casita del Turista, we specialize in offering unique, immersive, and tailor-made Spanish learning experiences. More than a school, we are a family-run and community-based project where education blends with culture, daily life, and meaningful connections with locals. Every program is carefully designed to inspire learning, growth, and authentic immersion in Costa Rican life.

1 OUR MISSION:

To showcase diversity, inclusion, and connection through our thoughtfully designed learning traveling programs.

3 THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE IN:

We believe that learning a language can be a truly transformative experience. It opens the door to step out of your comfort zone, connect with new cultures and perspectives, engage with locals, and discover more about yourself through authentic immersion.

5 DIVERSIFICATION:

We aim to make possible the intention of diversifying the local economy, preserving culture, conserving the environment, and providing educational opportunities. Through our partnerships with diverse communities across Costa Rica, we strive to create meaningful and authentic travel experiences that celebrate the unique tapestry of humanity. We provide resources and information to help our clients learn about the social, environmental, and cultural issues affecting the destinations they visit.

2 COMMITMENT:

We are committed to ensuring that all our clients feel welcome and included, regardless of their background or identity. We believe that travel is a universal experience everyone should enjoy, and we strive to create an inclusive environment for all our clients.

4 VALUES:

We also care deeply about promoting diversity and inclusion in every aspect of our business. That’s why we partner with local experts, small businesses, and communities who understand the values of our project and share the same commitment to responsible travel and community-based tourism.

6 AT EVERY STEP:

Whether you’re an experienced traveler or embarking on your first trip, our team is here to support you every step of the way. We are dedicated to creating unforgettable travel experiences that inspire, empower, and enrich your life.
