I loved volunteering here. Not only did it give me the chance to enhance my Spanish skills, but it exposed to to a new culture and new people that I still keep in touch with years later from all over America and Costa Rica as well. The program was very convenient and helpful. The town is adorable, with a beautiful landscape. It rained almost every day I was there, but only for an hour or so. Puriscal is a dry town, so if your looking for a good night life I wouldn't recommend here. The people I met and the experience I had was invaluable.
