TEFL TESOL Course Costa Rica (Manuel Antonio)

Costa Rica has long been renowned for the friendliness of its people, high standard of education, enlightened environmental policies, and for its peaceful, democratic government. Most of all, Costa Rica is famous for its stunning natural beauty and the density and diversity of its exotic flora and fauna.

From the misty cloud forests in the mountains and active volcanoes to pristine rainforests and lush tropical coasts, Costa Rica holds something special for everyone who visits.

The town of Manuel Antonio occupies a unique place on Costa Rica’s central pacific coast where the rainforest sweeps down from the mountains to greet a series of warm palm-fringed beaches. One can’t help but be awestruck by the juxtaposition of such varying natural elements.

Bordered by one of the nation’s most stunning national parks to the south, Manuel Antonio is a living paradise and a nature lover’s dream. The trees are alive with tropical birds of all description and home to three species of monkey, including the rare mono titi (1200-1300 left in existence). Wild orchids and butterflies abound as well as sloths and the inquisitive coati. Forays into the national park may reveal some of the country’s more elusive wildlife.

Manuel Antonio boasts a series of magnificent beaches that are the perfect place for studying alone or for just spending a day with new friends. Additionally, there are many adventure-based activities available in Manuel Antonio including hiking, horseback riding, surfing, rainforest canopy tours, river rafting, and sea kayaking.

Manuel Antonio’s sister city Quepos provides a glimpse into traditional Costa Rican life and hospitality. Located just a few minutes from our campus, this small town can be easily explored on foot, and yet for its size, Quepos offers an astonishing assortment of international restaurants as well as shops, Internet cafes, beaches, a farmer’s market and a colorful nightlife.

From the bohemian feel on the beach and the sunset bars and restaurants clinging to the hillside to the authenticity and charm of Quepos, a visitor is certain to find a niche (or two) to call one’s own

Experience all this while studying for a TESOL certificate. A TESOL certification is your passport to job opportunity in exotic and culturally fascinating locales the world over. However, after getting a certification in Costa Rica, you may never want to leave this earthly paradise again.

Directions from the Bus Station

When exiting the bus station you will have two options. You want exit the station on the same side that bus pulled into. The north side of the bus station exits on to a large parking lot where the pirate-taxis base themselves—this is the wrong way. You should exit on the other side. You will see a hardware store with blue tile-work on either side of the doors in front of you. Cross the street to the hardware store or “La Ferreteria.” Once you cross the street, you want to head left or away from the ocean until you reach the corner of that block, which is no more than 30 feet from the hardware store. Once you’ve reached the corner, turn right. You should see a steep, natural rock wall covered in vegetation rising over a hundred feet in front of you at the end of the block. Walk to the end of the block towards the wall and turn left when you reach the end. You will continue on this road past the soccer field. At the end of the soccer field, the road veers slightly to the right. Continue to follow the same road. Eventually, the same road will veer sharply and steeply to the right. We are located in the first building complex that you see on your left just a short way up the hill. Here you will see two buildings. We are located in the second building with the TEFL International sign in front. Our office is located on the third floor just up the green stairs. Should you run into any difficulties, please call us at our office at 777.4042.

To take a taxi, simply say “Tango La Guacha”… we are right next door.
