Pick.up package
In order to easily get from Panama City to your accommodation of choice in Boquete, you can make use of our pick-up package which means you will be welcomed by a taxi driver carrying a sign with your name, at the International Airport (Tocumen ). He will then take you to the hotel that we use in Panama City, where you will have a private room, breakfast and internet use. Next morning or afternoon you will be taken from the hotel to the other, (Domestic) Airport, called Albrook for your less than one hour flight to David. At the Airport of David, there will be another taxi driver waiting to take you to your accommodation (of choice) and show you around town (some important places in town). Afterwards, you will be brought to the school where a representative of the school will give you information about the school. The pick-up package includes all taxi trips, one night at the hotel, the domestic flight and the pick-up in David (as described lower).

School stay If you like to be independent, yet share with fellow students, we recommend staying at the school. We have 4 bedrooms with shared bathroom. Each room can be shared by up to 2 students, but you if you don't mind paying a little more you can have your private room. There is also one private room with a private bathroom. A kitchen is available to for the students that choose this school stay. There is Cable TV at the school, so lots of movies, music, information in Spanish (and English). We also offer a continental breakfast in the morning (7:30 a.m).
Homestay Living with a local family is a unique experience that will provide you with the opportunity to not only learn the language but also explore the culture. Our host families have been carefully selected. The rooms are private and have shared bathrooms. Home stays include breakfast, dinner and laundry. Food is typical Panamanian, nevertheless most families can adapt a little upon request (e.g. considering people's diets). If you don't use our pick-up service, you need to call the school to let us know at what time you will arrive in Boquete so your host family can welcome you at the school or at the bus station.
Hotel stay In town as well as in the mountains, there are various hotels to choose from. Write info@spanishbytheriver.com for suggestions on hotels.
