Family Home Stays (Boquete and Bocas del Toro)

Live with a local host family during your Spanish course

The cost given is as PER WEEK of accommodation with a local family. Prices are shown in U.S. dollars. We normally place only one student with each local family (unless it's a couple or family traveling together). We do this to "force" you to speak Spanish.

The "number of students column" refers to arrangements for couples and families or friends traveling together who wish to be placed within the same local family. Children receive a special discount when they stay at a home stay with their parents:
