Local Homestay
The rooms in the homestays are private and have shared bathrooms. Daily breakfast is included. Food is typical Panamanian so you will eat rice and beans, chicken, meat and patacones (fried plantains). We can only expect the local family to adapt their cooking a little bit to your specific dietary needs so if you eat for example gluten free, you will need to bring some products to supply the food that will be offered.
To get to your family in Boquete, you first go to the school and the family will be notified to pick you up at the school.
You have several options regarding transportation to the language school. Just let your travel advisor know if you would like one. The transfer is NOT included in the price and will be booked separately.
