Description

Learning Spanish abroad in La Ceiba, Honduras is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Honduras shares borders with Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador. The country is home to the Bay Islands and spectacular coral reefs attracting scuba divers from everywhere. Historically, the Mayans were prevalent in some parts of the country and their influence continues today. Despite a stable political situation and low cost of living, Honduras is largely undiscovered by tourists. With a seemingly endless stretch of deserted beaches, jungles, mountains, and Mayan ruins, Honduras has much to offer.

Learn Spanish Language in Honduras:
The largest of the Honduran port towns (population 80,000), La Ceiba is located on the Northern Caribbean at the foot of the towering 5000-foot Pico Bonito, Honduras' largest national park. It has excellent access to the Bay Islands (20 minutes by plane) and is known as the 'fun city' of Honduras thanks to movies, dancing, and restaurants. With beaches, nearby Garifuna villages, Pico Bonito, and a small airport, La Ceiba is increasingly becoming discovered by tourists and eco-tourists.

School Facilities: Small air-conditioned building located about 2 blocks from the main downtown area. Classrooms are Indoors and outdoors. Capacity is about 30 students per day.

Participants: Mostly from the US and Europe. Wide age range.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement

Our mantra is "Every Language, Every Culture, Everywhere." AmeriSpan Study Abroad has over 15 years experience and over 30,000 past participants. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. AmeriSpan's staff has traveled to more than 65 countries, every continent except Antarctica, speak 10 languages, and we are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent, we're a hybrid of the two: a language travel organization. AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer, and our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of these programs. Our pledge to our participants is to make going abroad 'worry-free'. There is no risk in choosing an AmeriSpan program because you'll get the best program, best price and can cancel for any reason and get a full refund on every dollar we have received for your program.
