Activities

The AZ Arenal Spanish School is located in a destination that offers students who come to study and learn Spanish, plenty of things to do outside of class.

Spanish students at AZ Arenal Spanish School will have the advantage of experiencing the natural beauty and raw power of Arenal, and the diverse activities in the surrounding area, without getting wrapped up in the hectic pace of tourists who only spend a day or two in a frantic effort to see everything and as a result neither see or experience anything worthwhile.

The Arenal Volcano is often obscured by a cloud cover for days at a time. By spending concentrated time in La Fortuna while attending classes it is highly unlikely students will be heard to utter the often heard Arenal tourist's lament of "I went there but never saw the volcano".

This same philosophy governs the Spanish language school's selection of other cultural and adventure tours in Arenal. The Spanish language school in Arenal has chosen tours to less frequented attractions that tourists have neither the knowledge of their existence, nor the time for a full experience.

Tours such as kayaking on beautiful Lake Arenal, leisurely rafting trips on the class 2 & 3 Rio Toros where wildlife abounds, visits to the out of the way Baldi Hot Springs and trips to the Danaus herbarium, herpetarian and butterfly gardens were chosen to give our Spanish language students a broader, less touristy Arenal experience.

If you prefer to do something not offered by the school, the staff on hand is always willing to help you out.
