Our Mission

Live the Osa's mission is to create opportunities and connections for cultural and language immersion in Costa Rica. Whether you stay for one week or three months, we guarantee you will not feel like a tourist. Our programs are based on a strong philosophy of cross-cultural principles, including mutual respect, sustainability, self-awareness, community service and education. Interns, teachers, students and families will improve their Spanish, learn about a new culture, and immerse themselves into the Costa Rican way of life by living with a local family and giving back through an internship serving the greater Osa community.
