About Costa Rica
Costa Rica is one of the most popular destinations for AFS-USA Exchange Students, and with good reason. The country is home to proud, friendly, and peaceful citizens known as ticos (men) and ticas (women). They are usually conservative but they enjoy sharing their life and social activities with new people.

Making a Dream a Reality

“My stay in Costa Rica was both fun and educational. Students from around the United States were there with me participating in community service. The experience of meeting people from another culture and bonding with AFS students from other parts of America was very rewarding. I gained independence, learned how to fend for myself, and learned a lot about the world around me.” -Desiree H. U.S./Costa Rica, Summer Community Service, 2004
