Tilaran, the Village Good Life.

Slowdown Summer.

Our gentle pace provides time for the little things, not rushed or scheduled. Everyday has surprises and opportunities to interact. You’ll enjoy impromptu events that happen regularly at both of our partner high schools. A chance to engage with your peers in everything from swim parties to school eco-projects. You won’t be on your own, our ‘ambassador students” make the effort to help you connect to the school culture. Relax, be yourself and just enjoy exploring the good life of Tilaran.

Tilaran, pop. 9,300 is located in the green highlands of Northern Costa Rica. It enjoys cool, breezy weather. The Tilaran district includes 7 smaller villages. Bordered by volcanoes and surrounded by ranch lands, rivers and lakes. Tilaran remains outside the tourist lanes still holding onto the wholesome rural life of family traditions and community pride.

See a day in the village life!
