For learners it begins on the end of June and it lasting over 2 months (on the 1st Monday of September learners go to school, students begins 1 month later). Of course holiday that's interesting period in the year as in every country. What can I say else?? Holiday are in the summer, so on this time We can go to the sea (north of country) or to the mountains (south of country), but if somebody want, he can go abroad (but you must have more money) in orther to visit other country and have safe weather. How looks holiday in Costa Rica??
