January 18, 2026by: Zara Lewis - United KingdomProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
I had the best time in Quepos , I made such great friends in my accommodation , but the main thing for me was the Spanish lessons , Marianela is the best Spanish teacher I have ever had , and I feel like I have learnt so much and my confidence has sky rocketed ! The team in Costa Rica are amazing too and couldn’t be more helpful. Thanks so much
First and Best Study Abroad Experience!
January 17, 2026by: Jayvyn Graves - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
Maximo Nivel provided me with an incredible experience in Costa Rica. From the classroom environment to the recommended and organized tours throughout the country, everything consistently exceeded my expectations. The host family I stayed with through Maximo Nivel was extremely welcoming and truly enhanced my time in Costa Rica. If I find myself back in Costa Rica, Maximo Nivel would absolutely be the program I return to as the staff are incredibly friendly, and the community is genuinely supportive.
The Most Unforgettable 3 Weeks of My Life

I loved my time with both Máximo and my cohort. I explored everything I possibly could have and made the most of my experience. I highly recommend this program because I thoroughly improved my Spanish as well.

Participated in 2018
After teaching English in Italy in 2016, I realized that I wanted to take this career path more seriously and invest in my education with a TEFL certification. I want to teach in a country that is different than America, where I can genuinely make a difference and help children to have more opportunities in their lives by speaking English and having me as their teacher.

By volunteering with Maximo Nivel, I was able to volunteer and be immersed in the culture of the city I helped in. Traveling has always been a passion of mine, and this program allowed me to travel the world in an aspect most tourists never get to experience!
