Immersion
Spanish Study Tours
- General
|
These tours feature Spanish language study and trips to
Mayan and Spanish colonial sites in Guatemala. Weekdays, Monday
through Friday, you will study Spanish 4 hours daily in Panajachel at Lake Atitlan.
Panajachel is an international community replete with all traveler
conveniences and is the gateway to indigenous communities of the lake less
touched by World culture. Your weekdays will include walking tours and
still leave ample time to relax and explore the natural and cultural beauty
of the Lake. The program also includes
trips to Antigua, the classic Spanish colonial city of Central
America, to the ancient Mayan city of Tikal,
to the famed open artisan market of Chichicastenango, and to the national
capitol of Guatemala City.
Language instruction is self-paced
and employs the immersion technique. You will have your own personal
native instructor. Your study program will be individually
tailored to your own interests and capabilities. On request,
certificates of completion can be provided which detail your record of study.
These can be forwarded directly to employers or educational institutions for
academic, employer, or professional credit.
All of the following options include lodging
on arrival and departure nights, transportation between Guatemala City and study site, and a
package of weekday and weekend guided tours. Lodging on two in-country
overnight tours is also included.
Your lodging in Panajachel at Lake Atitlan
is priced separately and is negotiable depending on your budget and comfort
needs. Options are homestay with a Guatemala family with all meals
for $90 per week or upscale Bed & Breakfast lodging for the same price,
double occupancy (add $25 per week for single occupancy). The latter option
includes use of exercise room, hot tub, and sauna.
