Description
I'm spanish professor and I own a hostel in Nicoya's Peninsula of Costa Rica, I've been teaching for 12 years now. We have a spanish school and a beach front hostel located in one of the most vibrant areas in Costa Rica; Montezuma. Located only 5 minutes away from the entrance of the main waterfalls; Moctezuma waterfalls and only a 10 minute walk from downtown Montezuma. The hostel has beachfront space for 22 people and there are two people living full time in the hostel, we have a local community kitchen with basic implements, WI-FI and shared bathrooms.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Located in one of the most vibrant beach towns in Costa Rica; Montezuma has a lot to offer. The first Costa Rican National Park -Cabo Blanco- is only 20 minutes by bike or a walkable distance to an island in the small neighbouring town, Cabuya. Montezuma is well known by its pristine beaches and waterfalls, having around 5 waterfalls all accessible by foot and for free just to cool off after a sunny day on the beach. Montezuma is one of the most colorful towns but also very authentic at the same time where you for sure will hang out with locals and laugh of all the experiences they have come across throughout the years. You'll be able to practice your spanish and immerse in the local Costa Rican Culture living in a home full of art, love, joy and the "pura vida" feeling. Welcome to Paradise!
