Spanish Language and Crossing of the Andes (Argentina/Chile)
The Intensive course in Spanish and Crossing of the Andes program has the same general features as the standard Intensive program but it also includes one week of lessons travelling across the Andes.
Indeed, the stunning aspect of this program is that one week will be devoted to crossing on muleback the Andes range starting from Mendoza in Argentina with final destination in Chile.
The Andes adventure is done together with students who have taken the leadership course and it repeats General San Martín’s experience from 1816 when he was in charge of the military actions that led all the Río de la Plata Viceroyalty to gain independence from Spain.
During this week, you will be riding your mules for 5 or 6 hours per day, you will visit places not normally reached by regular tourists and will have the chance to spend seven days in close contact with nature.
Spanish and Culture lessons are not interrupted during this week. The number of expected teaching hours are completed anyway.
Dates: 01/18/08 - 02/21/08 |
