Weekend and Excursion include

Trip to Uruguay: Montevideo and Colonia Travelling by ferry to either Colonia or Montevideo (or both), we often visit one of the smaller countries in South America (and the other land of the tango) - Uruguay.

Trip to a Gaucho Ranch in the Pampas

These trips to the Pampas are always a blast - good food (and drink), horseback riding, gaucho stunts and shows, more good food and drink....

Trip to El Tigre Island

Here many of the streets are rivers and the cars are boats! It's a great place to get away for a bit from the bustle of Buenos Aires. We visit a crafts market, take a boat trip, picnic for lunch, and enjoy the old homes and laid back ambience of this historic place north of Buenos Aires.

There are always a lot of fun things going on at the Spanish school! Besides the weekend trips and excursions, this Spanish program is combined with cultural activities every week where you will have the chance to get to know more of your classmates as well as potentially meet locals. Among the activities are:
