Why study in Antigua?

First things first, there is a lot of debate about where is the best place to study Spanish. Before you choose a school to study in, you´ll want to choose which location suits you the best.

There are lots of great places to study Spanish. Antigua is the most popular of them all. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, it is so close to the airport. In a simple and easy 45 minute shuttle ride, you can be delivered directly to the door of your Antigua language school or accommodation. Also, the locals here speak Spanish, whereas in many other towns, Spanish is the second language after a local indigenous tongue. Antigua is absolutely beautiful. And from here you can experience indigenous culture in the nearby villages, modern Guatemalan culture, and first class facilities as-well! You can also make easy weekend trips to some of Guatemala's other fantastic destinations, such as Lago Atitlan, Livingston, and Monterricco (see Activities - Weekend Excursions for more information.
