How do Spanish students get to their host family's house upon arrival to Boquete?

The following assumes that you already know how to get to David, Panama.

Knowing each students' arrival time is very important for us. Our host family's do not like to improvise and therefore they like to know beforehand about what time to expect the new member of their family.

This is why it is so important that you let us know about your travel plans. If you haven't done so, we'll be asking you by email but please feel free to let us know: . In this way we will be able to coordinate everything between you, your host family and our Spanish school.

If you arrive to David during office hours (every day of the week: Mondays to Sundays from 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.) then we will automatically pick you up, either at the airport or bus station, drive you up to Boquete (40 minutes), pay a short visit to the school, and then take you to your host family's house.

In other words, we need to know your exact arrival details to David.

If you arrive out of office hours, we can also setup a pickup in David for an additional $10 on top of your home stay setup fee. Otherwise you will have to arrive to your host family's house on your own (we will give you your host family's address!).

If on your first day in Boquete, you arrive too late (after 8 p.m.), you might have to spend that night in a hotel or hostel of your choice (again, we can help!). With certain host families it could not be considered polite to start an Immersion Program so late a night.

Whatever students decide to do, they will have to let us know about their travel plans, so that we can let their host family know about their arrival details.

After ours students sign up for our Immersion Program by filling out our Pre-Program Interview, we send them their host family's details (including phone number). This will enable them to contact their host family during the weekend in case plans change and there is not enough time to communicate these changes to the school (but we would really appreciate if you please make the effort to call us and write us an email, especially if you have an airport or bus station pickup scheduled!!!).
