Course description

This Spanish course in the rainforest has fixed starting dates, once a month, between April and November.

Spanish group lessons are a great way of learning interactively. Working in a group environment encourages conversation. Our groups are small: maximum 6 students. The course is activated when we have a minimum amount of 6 students enrolled for the same start date.

The course has to be booked as a package including course, accommodation, jungle activities and tours.

All students are placed with others who are at the same level so you can learn together at the appropriate pace. In your Spanish group classes, teachers dedicate most of the time to interactive activities and exercises through which students learn to understand and speak Spanish. Students will also spend time on grammar exercises, writing and reading.

"It was a wonderful experience!"

Meike Zimmermann

I had never been to the rain forest before, so I was really impressed when I got there. I had taken Spanish classes in Cusco first and then decided to include in my plan a trip to the jungle while continuing my classes with my teacher. We did some really cool trips into the forests there - it was really fascinating; all the different plants and animals! I really liked that we also learned about our environment in our Spanish classes in Tambopata. I also loved the bungalows - so comfortable!
Thanks for the great experience!
