At Caminhos, we aim to keep payments clear, transparent, and flexible. We offer several payment options to serve students worldwide, while keeping transaction costs as low as possible. We are also happy to accept cash payments at the school.
In general, we require a deposit to secure your reservation, with the remaining balance due on your first day of classes. For fiscal reasons, certain services must be paid to specific accounts, so please pay close attention to the account details.
Two Payment Methods Depending on Your Booking:
Please read carefully before making a payment!
If you book both a course and accommodation, we kindly ask you to make two separate payments. We know this is not ideal, but it helps us process your booking correctly. We appreciate your understanding.
