Santiago, the capital of Chile is close to the mountains and to the beach. Taking advantage of that situation is why we created this program, where our students can learn the same amount of weeks in Santiago and the same in Viña del Mar.

The school is located in the center of Viña very near to the beach, malls, restaurants and bars, creating a great location to learn and practice Spanish.

Viña del Mar description

Viña del Mar belongs to the 5th region of Chile and it is one of Chile's most fashionable beach resorts and it is great place to take a vacation if you want go to the beach and relax. The town was founded in 1874 as a weekend retreat and garden residence for the wealthy elite from Valparaiso and Santiago, and it has remained a top beach destination for people from Santiago ever since. Most simply call the city "Viña"
The sight of Viña del Mar's attractive homes, beautiful lawns, and golden beaches dotted with colourful surfboards is the best scenery to learn the language and mingle with locals. There are plenty of fine beaches.
Viña del Mar is a wonderfully relaxing place to spend a few days.

Close to Viña is Valparaiso. Valpo (as it it’s known) is Chile's principal port and second-largest city. Despite its size, it is Chile's most distinctive city and one of South America's most intriguing. Occupying a narrow strip of land between the waterfront and the nearby hills, its convoluted centre has distinctive, sinuous cobbled streets, and is overlooked by precipitous cliffs and hilltop suburbs which are accessed by funicular railways and stairway footpaths. It is conducive to maze-like strolls and rides on the funicular, and its natural history, fine arts and maritime museums are justly famed.

The most interesting part of Valparaiso is the old section, where you will find colonial buildings, churches, and museums. Also worth seeing is Pablo Neruda's favourite house, a few minutes from town. A colourful, sunlit mansion overlooking the water, the house is now a museum, a visit to which, can pleasantly occupy an afternoon.
