Description: Learning Spanish abroad in Cartagena, Colombia is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Colombia's extreme geographical diversity, strong historical ties, and its peoples' affinity for partying make it an ideal destination for adventurers, history buffs, and nature lovers alike. Its native indigenous presence combined with its Colonial architecture and it's wealth of archeological sites make Colombia a historical explorer's paradise.

If you just want to let loose and enjoy the beautiful weather, Colombia certainly abides. Dancing is practically a national pastime and having a good time is taken very seriously. Colombia has been experiencing recent positive economic growth and stability and has worked hard to re-established itself as a leader in the South American tourism market.

Learn Spanish Language in Colombia:
Cartagena is Colombia's most visited city and it is easy to see why. Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, this colonial city has managed to retain the charm, architecture, and romance of its past. The ramparts and city walls that once protected Cartagena, are still standing today. Inside these walls, the vibrant, colorful, and eclectic mixture of Caribbean, African, & Spanish influences can still been seen, tasted, and heard.

Spanish School Facilities:
The school in Cartagena is located in the Getsemani neighborhood, a few blocks from the main entrance to the "Old City." Classes take place in a colonial house with a Caribbean atmosphere next to Trinidad Square, the place where Cartagena's battle for independence began. The house has a cafeteria and a garden inside. Internet service is also available there. Capacity is 48 students/day.
