Think small, community nurturing travel.

Picture

9 to 16 day Teacher-led immersive trips.

Your students long for a truly geniune local Spanish experience. Our youth-driven adventure is richly interactive with 5 villages linking volcanoes to  cloud forest.  Our "youth ambassadors" sponsor fun active social encounters that ignite conversations and friendships. With no guides or tour operator to fuss with, you'll cherish the chance to slow down, relax  and enjoy our friendly small town atmosphere. We provide wonderful options that compliment all Spanish levels, from community art projects to protecting biodiversity, sustainable farm forests, outdoor team challenges, sports/dance events, ice cream socials, swim outings.
Note: For best experience we recommend avoiding dates around Christmas holidays and Easter week.


​Think Socially Active.

We open our schools and youth activities to visiting teacher/student groups. Fun interaction led by our local teens. We create informal conversation circles that help "break the ice" naturally. Interaction is fun and easy in our youth-centered village.

Think un-commercial student travel. 

Geniune youth engagement - Healthy and highly socialized for the benefit of local and visiting youth.
Our difference - Visiting students are offered a chance to gain experience and grow as young adults. We supervise all programming but not at the expense of allowing young people to interact fully in our community. Leadership is the outgrowth of giving young people opportunities to contribute and connect with others.
Local leadership - Community supported from Municipality, Schools and Youth Programs.
