Máximo Nivel
The language school Máximo Nivel was founded in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica in 2001. Overlooking the pristine waters of the Pacific coast, the school offers participants the opportunity to study amidst the natural beauty of the rainforest and beaches. Just down the road is the quaint town of Quepos with lots of shops and local restaurants, a large marina, and an open-air market on the weekends. On the other side is the Manuel Antonio National Park, with its expansive white sand beaches and diverse flora and fauna.
The school address is: Enfrente de la Escuela Bilingüe de Manuel Antonio, 60601 - Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica (see on map)
