Travelling Classroom Venezuela
If you’re wondering where paradise on earth might be – Venezuela just might be the place. Its hot, tropical climate and the exotic flora and fauna including ocelots, armadillos and anaconda snakes will lead you into temptation – to stay even longer! The friendly people and the large indigenous culture will put the finishing touch to it.
Take the path that we have designed for you – do volunteer work, learn the Spanish language and go on excursions throughout Venezuela. Your adventure is sealed.

2 months in a Travelling Classroom
The Travelling Classroom will give you the most acclaimed mixture of Spanish lessons and adventure trips. The starting point is Playa Colorada in the national park of Mochima on the Caribbean coast, one of the loveliest beaches in Venezuela. However, you won’t stay here long, it’s off on tour you go!
The group, accompanied by a Spanish teacher, will have their lessons in the most unusual “classrooms” of the world: a Jeep safari to Gran Sabana, a hike to the peak of Roraima (“the lost world”), a sea kayaking tour to the beautiful islands of the Caribbean or an excursion to the Orinoco delta in the jungle – Spanish lessons just can’t get any more exciting! You will experience the natural surroundings and cultural diversity of the country, explore isolated locations and, for example, get to know the secrets of the indigenous peoples Warao and Pemon Indigena.
Lessons in the wilds of South America
Your lessons won’t take place in the same boring classroom – this demands a little flexibility from you. You certainly won’t find a strict schedule or a precisely timed sequence.
The programme includes approximately 100 lessons which are spread over the two months.
