Do you want to learn Spanish and get to know Guatemala in a trip of only one month? Then the Traveling Classroom is a must. Besides the daily Spanish classes during four weeks in four different places we have organized a large number of excursions which will attract even the most active traveler. Transportation between places is by collective mini busses which are normally only used by tourists. Therefore the transport will be quick and safe. In three places you will stay at a guest family where you will receive three meals per day (except on Sundays) and you will have your own room. On Sunday you can eat in a nice local restaurant. There are also 9 nights in a hotel included: at the Pacific coast in Monterrico and in a very nice jungle lodge at the river bank of the ‘Rio Cahabón’ where you will river raft. On the days with hotel stay meals are not included except at the Mexican party at the end of the weekend in the jungle. During this trip you learn Spanish, will experience the local Indian culture and you will see the fascinating nature of Guatemala. The trip visits the following places:
You will visit a project where turtles are protected, you’ll learn the first steps of Salsa, and will get a shot of adrenaline during the climb to the summit of the volcano Pacaya, river rafting and descending on a Zipline at the canopy of the jungle. More relaxing social activities are added too; you’ll go for instance to a live band and see a movie in a hip lounge café in Antigua. The week in Monterrico will be ended by a camp-fire at the beach. This is just a part of the activities and don’t forget that you will be able to have a simple conversation in Spanish after this 4 week program.
The trip follows, in this order, these places: Antigua, Panajachel, Cobán / Lanquín and Monterrico. The tour has a 4 week cycle; you can arrive every Saturday and start your trip in the place where the tour is at that moment. Although arriving in Guatemala in the weekend the tour starts in Antigua is the easiest and cheapest (you also can arrive on Sunday); in that case there won’t be need of an extra night in Antigua after arriving and a transfer the next day to the place where the tour is that week. Click to see where the tour is at the moment you would like to join here. Antigua is close to the airport of Guatemala City and the transfer from the airport to Antigua is inclusive. Do you want to start in another place then Antigua then there will be a surcharge of $30 for the extra hotel night in Antigua and the extra transfer to the place where the tour is held that week. There is no transfer included from the last place of your classes because you might want to stay there a few more days or have planned to travel on your own after the tour. In case you do want a transfer to Antigua because you fly out of Guatemala City a (few) day(s) later we can arrange a transfer to Antigua and 1 or more nights in a hotel and a transfer to the airport with minibus ($7) or private taxi ($30).
You will receive private Spanish tuition of 4 hours a day, in total 76 hours. In Cobán you will have only 4 days of classes of 4 hours because we took an extra day for the most spectacular part of the trip: river rafting on the river Cahabón in the jungle of Guatemala. At every school you’ll have another teacher but your level of Spanish will be passed on to the teacher at the next school. This way continuity of your classes will be secured.
