Venezuela is located on the northern coast of South America and enjoys a tropical climate year-round attracting tourists from Germany, Italy, Spain and North America.

In addition, the country has a well-developed infrastructure, 35 national parks, and Angel Falls, the world’s highest waterfall.
Learn Spanish Language in Venezuela:
Playa Colorada, or the ‘Colored Beach’ is one of the many that make up Mochima National Park. This small beach located less than 10 kilometers from Santa Fe and half an hour from the city of Puerto La Cruz. Playa Colorada is one of the most photographed beaches in Venezuela and it is easy to see why. The red sandy beaches are lined with palm trees and the water is crystal clear. Standing on the sand, you can see some of the 32 islands the make up Mochima National Park.
School Facilities:

Participants:
Mostly ages 20-24 from Europe and North America
Other:
