About Program

Study Spanish in a formal setting in the mornings, enjoy guided adventure tours in the afternoons and have fun on the weekend adventures with our Spanish speaking locals.

This is an excellent opportunity for improving your Spanish skills in a practical and fun way while exploring some of Colombia’s wonders in San Carlos - a magical town surrounded by mountains, rivers and waterfalls.

We believe that progress is made when you are outside the classroom, interacting with locals, and using your newfound language skills to experience true Colombian culture. That's why we have daily Colombia immersion activities excursions so you can keep learning Spanish without ever being bored.

Loved my week at Spanish Adventures

I loved my week at Spanish adventures! We stayed in a really nice house with a lovely group of people. Everyday we did an adventure. For example we went to a beautifull jungle book style river and we went to the closest city: San Carlos. Its a very cute non-touristy city, people drive around on horses there! I learned a lot in the classes trough a lot of practice and repetition. You also have one on one training where you just speak Spanish for an hour. Because of this I got much more confident in speaking Spanish.

Adventure

I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Spanish in a supportive and well-organized environment. When I first arrived, I didn’t speak any Spanish at all, but the teachers were very patient and immediately knew how to adapt their teaching to my level and learning style. They made me feel comfortable from the beginning, which really helped me gain confidence while speaking and practicing the language.

The private lessons were especially great because they were personalized and focused on what I needed to improve the most.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you are planning to travel and learn Spanish, I would definitely recommend choosing a school where the teachers are patient and experienced with beginners. Don’t worry if you arrive without speaking any Spanish — that’s completely normal, and you will improve much faster than you expect if you practice every day.

Adventure

I had an amazing experience here and the staff is very helpful. I would have appreciated a little more information before arriving but once arriving I had an amazing time with my group of 7 people. Some people have decided to stay more but I was here for one week. In this week, you only have classes Tuesday through Friday in the morning and in the afternoons you go on a fun adventure. Saturday is an activity day where you have a couple of options and you pick with your group. We chose tubing and had a great time.

My colombian family💚

I spent there 5 weeks, time was passing through very quickly during my staying. I was a volunteer originally, then i extended my staying, again and again, i felt so much home there. So much memories... I have my loveliest experiences there during my 3 months of travelling around the country. I totally recommened it, expecially for individual travellers who desire for a family feeling. Learning spanish was way easier than before, this is the best way to learn the language and practise it, thank you very much guys! 💚

Pros
  • Family feeling
  • Amazing location

An Incredible, Well-Rounded Experience

There is so much to say about Spanish Adventure!
I thought I would stay for three weeks but ended up extending for five weeks. At the end of every week I felt excited about how much more there was to learn, and the location was amazing. The weekly projects were fun and often made me step way outside my comfort zone - writing and reciting poems, making short films, and my favorite, making traditional Colombian dishes to share. Beautiful mountains surround the school and the weekly adventures were unbelievable. I stayed in both a private room and a shared room during my time there and both felt spacious and comfortable. All of the teacher and staff members are absolutely brilliant, all with a unique background and story that shines through the way they teach and share. This is a place I would gladly return to!

Pros
  • Learning practical Spanish for conversation
  • Variety of learning activities - daily classes, 1:1 conversation, adventures & projects
  • Incredible, friendly & brilliant staff

I would 10/10 recommend ❤️

I would 10/10 recommend going to Spanish Adventure. Not only have I learned so much during the Spanish Classes, I’ve also had so much fun with the amazingly talented teachers and the other students. The school is located in this beautiful, colorful town of San Carlos, where there’s lots of waterfalls and rivers to discover. Besides the daily Spanish classes, you will multiple times a week work on a creative project, the guides will take you on different adventures in the area and you will practice Spanish with the locals during the weekly language exchange. I’m super grateful for this experience and
I really hope to come back one day!

Spanish Adventure, muchas gracias por todo!!!💖

Pros
  • Excellent Spanish classes

Spanish Adventure is a great experience

The teachers are all very enthusiastic. The groups are small, so you really get the attention you need. Only people on the same Spanish level will be grouped together. In my last week I was alone in my group. The staff is very friendly, it feels like one big family, so you really feel at home in this place. The food that's cooked at the school is delicious. In the town San Carlos nobody speaks English, so you really get to practice your Spanish. The school also organises canyoning and other Adventures, the evironment is beautiful. A good place to hike and swim. No other tourists to be found in this place, only the students in the school, so it's also very local. Amazing experience!

Pros
  • Enthousiastic educated teachers
  • Local environment to easily immerse
  • Exciting adventures organised by the school
Cons
  • A bit far out of town, so you need tuktuks to bring you
