About Costa Rica
Costa Rica is one of the most popular destinations for AFS exchange students, with good reason. One of the most politically stable and prosperous of Latin American nations—in part because it has no army—the country is home to proud, friendly, and peaceful citizens known as ticos (men) and ticas (women). Costa Rican people are usually conservative but enjoy sharing their life and social activities with new people.
Please Note: Travel date ranges are provided to help with general scheduling. Please do not reserve any domestic travel based on these dates. AFS will notify confirmed participants with specific travel details approximately 45 days prior to departure. Programs, prices, and travel dates are subject to change without notice.
