Rancho de Español is located in La Guácima de Alajuela, a small village 18 miles northwest of San José, capital of the country, and about ten minutes away from the international airport, Juan Santamaría.
In this authentic town, people speak only Spanish, the families preserve the real “tico” lifestyle and enjoy hosting foreigners. Most of these families are related to each other which permits our students to interact with more than one host family.
