Itineraries

Day 1 to Day 2,(Sat-Sun), ANTIGUA

Antigua offers the perfect environment to study Spanish. This picturesque, cobblestoned Spanish colonial city enjoys a near perfect climate and has been called 'The Land of Eternal Spring'. Whether one wishes to climb the nearby volcanoes, explore Mayan ruins or simply sit in the Parque Central absorbing the graceful timelessness of this city, Antigua offers something for everyone. Two free days to explore the city.

Day 3 to Day 7,(Mon-Fri), SPANISH SCHOOL ANTIGUA

Lessons start today. For four hours a day you will work on a one-to-one basis with your teacher in order to allow you to advance at your own pace. Particular emphasis is placed on flexibility; you pick the areas you wish to concentrate on - conversation, comprehension, writing, etc. The school offers a relaxed tranquil environment. Some students enjoy working in the park or strolling through town with their professors. A few have even been known to study over a beer in a local cantina! Your schedule is entirely up to you, and even those who have had no prior experience of the Spanish language will be completing basic Spanish phrases after the first day!

Day 8,(Sat), ANTIGUA

Programme ends.
