Learn Spanish in Merida
Spanish Immersion in Venezuela
Learning Spanish abroad in Merida, Venezuela is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. 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. About half the country is forest, including rainforest. Venezuela boasts countless paradise-like islands along its nearly 1,800 miles of coastline. 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:
A lovely university town, known as the City of Caballeros, Merida is located in a valley of the Andes at 5,332 feet. As expected in a university town, there is a great deal of activity in this city which is filled with colonial architecture and narrow streets. The highest tramway in the world offers visitors a spectacular view of Merida and the Andes.
School Facilities:
The school is located in a 3-story building in Plaza Las Heroinas near the peaceful university area. Recently renovated, the building provides a bright and comfortable place to study and enjoy recreational activities. There is also a covered terrace with views of the city.
Participants:
Average age is 20 – 24 and most are from Europe
Other:
The student lodge is located on campus and is run by a Venezuela family who lives there as well. Meals are taken with the family.
