Study Spanish in the Ecuadorian rainforest !!!

Responsible travel is a way of travelling which allows the curious traveller to get to know the destination of his choice, the people and their culture, the flora and fauna that often are so wonderfully different to the ones at home.

Studying Spanish with the Spanish Learning Program Amazon in the village of Sucua in the Ecuadorian rainforest provides all this and much more. In an atmosphere of support, openness and understanding you can learn the Spanish language and also learn about the very special way of living in the jungle.

A huge range of vegetation flourishes in this tropical rainforest: plants such as palms, bromeliads, ceibos, helicons, wild roses, and orchids are frequently seen. This once-in-a-lifetime trip will definitely be a memorable. Furthermore the jungle is home to many tropical animals like turtles, monkeys, ocelots, sloth and uncountable numbers of colourful birds such as hoatzins, parrots and kingfishers.

All this forms the home of the Shuar; Shuar, in the Shuar language, means "people. The Shuar live in the tropical rainforest between the upper mountains of the Andes, and the tropical rainforests and savannas of the Amazonian lowlands, in Ecuador extending to Peru. In the area around Sucua you will be able to meet the Shuar and your Spanish classes will be adjusted to leave you time to get to know their unique way of live in the middle of the mysterious rainforest and learn about the plants, animals and legends of the jungle.
