The Spanish Classes

Spanish classes are ESSENTIAL for those Volunteers with no previous Spanish experience and highly recommended for those who want to brush up on their Spanish language. The Spanish course is 40 hours, with four hours a day one-on-one tuition for the first two weeks. The Spanish courses available in the school range from beginner and intermediate, to advanced levels. The classes have an emphasis on grammar and conversation. During these first two weeks, you will concentrate on Spanish homework in the afternoons. See dates and costs for prices

Side Trips

For a small additional fee (see dates and costs for prices) Enjoy a 5 day trips to the Copan Ruins with a guide, separate horse-riding and hiking treks in the surrounding hills, and a visit to local hot springs.

For those seeking more culture or trying out something new, there are two good museums dedicated to the Mayan ruins, yoga and salsa classes, a canopy tour, and also tours to a nearby waterfall, caves and coffee plantations. Your host family can also give you cooking classes if you ask nicely!

Further a-field from Copán, many volunteers have traveled at the weekends to Rio Dulce, Gracias, Tela, La Ceiba and Omoa. For those with a little more time, the Bay Islands offer some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the region.
