Bogotá: Start Your Language Immersion in Colombia

 

Our journey begins in La Candelaria, the vibrant historic heart of Bogotá—the perfect place to begin your language immersion in Colombia.

Spanish teachers will attend classes each morning at the Instituto Caro y Cuervo, where language, pedagogy, and culture come together in dynamic, hands-on sessions. Meanwhile, cultural explorers will set off on curated city adventures—wandering markets, discovering local legends, and getting to know Bogotá through its food, art, and people.

In the afternoons and evenings, we come together to share the magic of the city:

  • strolls through cobblestone streets

  • visits to must-see sites like Monserrate, and museums like the Museo del Oro and Museo Botero

  • and nights spent enjoying music, laughter, and connection in local pubs and cafés

Whether you are in the classroom or on the street, Bogotá offers something authentic and unforgettable—a bold, brilliant start to your immersion.

Coffee-Region Immersion: Nature, Flavor & Connection

 

This part of your language immersion Colombia experience is all about slowing down, connecting deeply, and practicing Spanish in real, joyful ways.In the lush hills of Colombia’s coffee region, we will stay at a traditional finca, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and warm hospitality. Each day offers opportunities to connect with local culture and language through hands-on, joyful experiences.

You’ll visit working coffee farms, learn directly from local growers, and witness the full bean-to-cup process. We’ll also enjoy live food demonstrations showcasing regional dishes—and of course, taste them!

In the evenings, the group will come together to play traditional Colombian games, share stories, and practice Spanish in a relaxed and playful setting.

Cartagena: Celebration, Culture & Coastal Connection

 

Cartagena is the perfect final chapter in your language immersion in Colombia journey—a coastal jewel bursting with color, rhythm, and history. Here, the pace slows, the Caribbean breeze carries music through the streets, and the soul of the trip comes fully alive.

Mornings and afternoons offer a blend of beach time and cultural exploration. You’ll visit iconic sites, walk the city’s storied walls, and relax on sun-warmed beaches with the sea just steps away. We’ll take part in workshops on local rhythms and dances, learning from talented musicians and culture-bearers who share their traditions with joy.

Throughout the stay, you’ll also meet and create with local artisans, discovering their craft and stories. Evenings are filled with music, conversation, and a strong sense of connection—among participants, and with Cartagena itself.

This final chapter invites you to celebrate everything you’ve learned, lived, and become along the way.
