Where is the San Isidro, Costa Rica, home of the acclaimed Spanish School (SEPA)?
The charming town of San Isidro de El General is located on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, directly east of the beach pueblo of Dominical, and 135 km (84 miles) south of San José. Not a town impacted by the tourism business of Costa Rica, San Isidro is your perfect, safe place for cultural exchange and Spanish immersion in Costa Rica. It is situated on a lush valley hillside, just 30 minutes away from warm beaches.
Tropical rain forest, mountain jungle, cloud forest, the cold, windy forests of Talamanca (the highest Costa Rican mountain), Chirripó National Park, Marino Ballena National Park (whale park), pristine beaches, and many other beautiful places can be easily reached from San Isidro.
Less than ten years ago, the road was paved from the beach to this lovely mountain valley town, making it a beautiful, safe place to visit and learn, untouched by the hand of tourism.
