Q&A - Questions about Spanish courses and schools in Panama
I would like to travel through Panama. Do you also offer round-trips?
“Yes, there is the option of the ‘Travelling Classroom’. It lasts four weeks and covers four locations: Panama City, Boquete, Bocas del Toro and, as the final stop, Turrialba in Costa Rica. The programme can be adapted and shortened, for example, if it is only about Panama. We would be happy to send you more information about Spanish at Locations.”
