Accommodations

Homestay: As a “full-immersion-program” we offer the option to stay with one of our well chosen real Costa Rican families. With our families the participants get the opportunity to enjoy the daily life and customs of a real Costa Rican family.

Host families provide participants with their own bedroom (sometimes shared with other participant), laundry service once a week, and three meals daily.
All our host families are walking distance from AMISTAD, so that participants can have a nice walk to and from their host families.

Our chosen host families will include you in their day to day activities, parties, celebrations and others; and treat you as one of their family members

Homestay can be booked individually without participating in the Spanish or Volunteer Program. Ask for more information.

Participant houses: Some of the projects have small or medium size houses. Participants share rooms with others (a Hostel like atmosphere). Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is provided Monday to Friday for volunteers who stay in the volunteer house as part of their program fee. The houses have nice facilities. Sometimes volunteers are expected to help with meals and assist in the cleaning of the volunteer house. They can sleep on beds, and sometimes bunk beds. The volunteer houses are also available to be used on the weekends.


Sometimes AICR can make alternate arrangements, please let us know if you have something else in mind .
