EMT’s can join ambulance staff for first-hand learning experiences, pharmacists can learn from Costa Rican pharmacists, and all students can fully immerse themselves in the clinical setting. Enhance your learning opportunities and language skills by becoming a part of Dr Arias’ clinic.
As for the volcano, it hasn’t erupted since 2010.
Turrialba
Turrialba is an exceptional destination, meticulously chosen by the AEC for its unique characteristic that sets it apart from other tourist attractions. It has preserved its Costa Rican heritage, making it an ideal location for cultural and linguistic immersion. While white water rafting is a popular activity, Turrialba attracts only a small influx of visitors, allowing students to focus solely on mastering Spanish. With friendly locals who hold life, family, and hospitality in high regard, Turrialba remains a well-guarded gem. Visitors to Turrialba can rest easy knowing they are safe and can seamlessly blend into the community.
