Learn Spanish in La Ceiba
Spanish Immersion in Honduras
Learning Spanish abroad in La Ceiba, Honduras is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Honduras shares borders with Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador. The country is home to the Bay Islands and spectacular coral reefs attracting scuba divers from everywhere. Historically, the Mayans were prevalent in some parts of the country and their influence continues today. Despite a stable political situation and low cost of living, Honduras is largely undiscovered by tourists. With a seemingly endless stretch of deserted beaches, jungles, mountains, and Mayan ruins, Honduras has much to offer.
Learn Spanish Language in Honduras:
The largest of the Honduran port towns (population 80,000), La Ceiba is located on the Northern Caribbean at the foot of the towering 5000-foot Pico Bonito, Honduras’ largest national park. It has excellent access to the Bay Islands (20 minutes by plane) and is known as the 'fun city' of Honduras thanks to movies, dancing, and restaurants. With beaches, nearby Garifuna villages, Pico Bonito, and a small airport, La Ceiba is increasingly becoming discovered by tourists and eco-tourists.
School Facilities:
Small air-conditioned building located about 2 blocks from the main downtown area. Classrooms are indoors and outdoors. Capacity is about 30 students per day.
Participants:
Mostly from the US and Europe. Wide age range.
