Spanish Course in Iquique

Northern Chile is known for its breathtaking scenery, including the world's driest desert - the Atacama. On the edge of this vast desert, right on the Pacific coast, you can find Iquique. On the outskirts enormous sand dunes pile up and offer the visitors a fantastic postcard panorama.

Iquique is located about 1,250 miles north of Santiago de Chile and is one of the largest cities in Chile with about 300,000 inhabitants. The city is known for great beaches, year round good weather with lots of sunshine and little rainfall, and the diverse cultural offer.

Even sports lovers will get their money's worth, because Iquique offers an interesting range of activities, such as surfing, sailing, paragliding, diving, sandboarding and cultural excursions such as the visit of ancient saltpetines and ghost towns in the desert - UNESCO World Heritage! Not surprisingly, there are many backpackers and tourists in the city. During your language course in Iquique, you will not be bored. At the weekend you can even go on excursions to San Pedro de Atacama or the Lauca National Park and even Peru and Bolivia can be visited in tours of about three to five days.

Spanish School

Learn Spanish in close proximity to the beach? With great weather all year round? Sounds good, right? At the Spanish school Iquique you can get just that!

The language school was founded in 1980 and since then welcomes many international students from all over the world every year. The special feature of the language school is its focus on cultural exchange. In addition to Spanish, the language institute in Iquique also teaches other languages such as English, German, Portuguese, Russian or even Mandarin Chinese. This has the great advantage that also many Chileans attend the language school, so you can make contacts with locals and train your newly learned Spanish language skills. The mixture of foreign and native students in the same language center promotes a lively exchange between cultures and the interest in learning the "language of the other".
