Learn Spanish in Bariloche-Patagonia
Spanish Immersion in Argentina
Learning Spanish abroad in Bariloche-Patagonia, Argentina is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Argentina is the second largest country in South America and borders Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay. With an enormously varied climate, travelers can visit sub-Antarctic rainforests, tropical jungles, mountains, beaches, desert red canyons and awesome waterfalls. The bus system is one of the best in the world, offering movies, meals, and comfortable service to all areas. The population mix, as in Chile and Uruguay, is very different from the rest of Latin America because the population is almost all European. Most of the indigenous people were wiped out in wars during the 19th century.
Learn Spanish Language in Argentina:
Sitting on the coast of Nahuel Huapi Lake, Bariloche is a popular alpine tourist center. It is often the base for visiting Nahuel Huapi National Park, one of the most spectacular national parks in Argentina. This proximity makes it an excellent destination for outdoor enthusiasts. During the winter months, many visitors flock to the region to visit Cerro Catedral, an international skiing center. The warmer months offer opportunities for climbing, hiking and fishing.
School Facilities:
The school is located downtown, only 900 meters from the Centro Civico. There are five classrooms, a meeting room and a great backyard with a view to the fantastic Nahuel Huapi Lake and Hills. Daily coffee, tea and "Argentinean croissants" are complementary and offered daily. Capacity is 70 students/day.
