Information about Antigua, Guatemala (Click to view)
In a country that treasures its colonial past, Antigua is a prized possession. One of the most beautiful colonial cities in all of Latin America, its charm and relaxed atmosphere attracts students and travelers from all parts of the world. Antigua is home to more than 40 Spanish language schools.
Guatemala is recognized as the cultural center of the pre-discovered New World. As the origin of the mysterious Mayan Civilization and still predominantly indigenous, the country offers some of the continent’s richest folklore. The cultural blend of the indigenous, Spanish and African peoples can be seen in many aspects of daily life. Ancient rituals are intertwined with Christianity. Moreover, there is an abundance of high quality, low-priced handmade goods.
Participants: Anyone who wants to discover a Latin American country but can't decide between classes, volunteering or just traveling. This special program allows you to do it all. We have designed this program to be open without restrictions. This means that you are able to participate regardless of your Spanish level, educational history or professional background. The only requirement is that participants must be at least 18 years old.
