Come to Costa Rica with Maximo!
December 14, 2024by: Dani Kankunda - United StatesProgram: Customized GAP Year Programs in Costa RicaI stayed in Costa Rica for 4 months and for my Gap Year with Maximo and it was the best choice I could’ve made. I did the customized path with Spanish Immersion and Volunteering with Children. They were extremely accommodating to my needs and made sure I had the best experience. From the close proximity to many beaches to my classes to my host family. This program was everything I could’ve dreamed of and more. So much so that I already planned my next journey back for the New Year!
Best experience ever

I would definitely come back to Costa Rica I loved my host family they were truly amazing and so kind I will definitely recommend doing this.
A great cultural experience!
November 30, 2024by: Violet Robinson - United StatesProgram: Customized GAP Year Programs in Costa RicaThe best part of Maximo has to be the Spanish teachers! They are always super helpful and I wouldn’t want to learn Spanish any other way. Volunteering has also helped me with my Goal of learning Spanish by putting to use my practice in the real world.
