The Spanish school is situated in one of Bogotá's most traditional neighborhoods, Chapinero Alto, which has remained largely unchanged over the years. Local families still operate the small supermarkets and shops on the corner, while young residents are opening new hotspots, making this area trendy and beautiful.
The school is conveniently located near tourist sites, cultural attractions, and business districts, as well as homestay accommodations, hotels, and rental apartments. There are also many recreational facilities, parks, and a variety of shops and restaurants nearby.
Two of Bogotá's largest parks, National Park and Simón Bolívar Park, are just 15 minutes away from the school, offering numerous opportunities for sports and outdoor activities. Additionally, every Sunday, you can enjoy "Ciclovía," an event where several kilometers of main roads are closed to cars across the city, allowing cyclists, joggers, and dog walkers to enjoy the space.
The Spanish school is easily accessible by buses from anywhere in the city and is only 30 minutes from the international airport and the bus terminal.

I like that I was discouraged from using any English. The activities were also great, and the teachers were superb. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn or improve their Spanish.
