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.

Three weeks of volunteering

I was planing on only coming for two weeks but enjoyed this place so much I decided to extend my stay. All the staff are extremely nice and professional. If you are looking for a way to learn Spanish while experiencing a non touristic part of colombia this is the place for you. The adventures are amazing! So many river expeditions, waterfalls, hikes and nature. I absolutely loved the house, the rooms are big and clean and so is the kitchen. There is a nice pool and only a ten minute walk to town.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
There is a Venezuelan women with a little street food stall next to the school. After eating there once and talking to the woman she tooled us to came back the next day so she'll make us a special local food. We did and it was amazing!

Spanish Adventure rocks!

I attended four weeks of instruction at Spanish adventure and I am told that my Spanish has improved greatly. The instructors here are very kind and patient. The atmosphere is gorgeous with Colombian jungle and incredible Rivers all around you. The adventures are really challenging and fun. The food is healthy and plentiful. The accommodations are extremely clean and comfortable. Studying with people from all around the world was motivating and really interesting. I highly recommend Spanish adventure to anyone that wants to improve their language through immersion and also wants to have some fun and adventures on their down time.

What would you improve about this program?
I would improve some minor things not with the program but with the environment. I think some bigger fans would be good in the private rooms. The kitchen needs some clean dish towels at all times. The water tastes like metal and could be improved. The lighting in the study rooms could be brighter. But most of all I wouldn't change anything about the instructors. They are all wonderful!
Pros
  • Instructors and instruction
  • Colombian jungle environment and rivers
  • Meeting other students and studying with them
What other participants should know
  • Lighting for studying was too dim
  • Private rooms need bigger fans
  • Serve some more westernized food like Italian, Mexican, etc

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

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
