Excursions and local transportation are included in the program experience.

Program overview

Two seasons, two towns, one Salvadoran immersion experience.

The El Salvador program is designed for participants who want to learn Spanish while experiencing local life in two distinctive settings. In spring, the program is based in Sonsonate, in the west of the country, near the Ruta de las Flores, the Izalco volcano and the Pacific coast. In autumn, it moves to Suchitoto, a beautifully preserved colonial town overlooking Lake Suchitlán.

In both destinations, participants stay with local host families, enjoy traditional Salvadoran food and explore volcanoes, coffee towns, artisan communities, markets, museums and historic sites throughout the 12-day experience.
  • Sring in Sonsonate

    Western El Salvador: flower-route villages, volcanoes, coffee farms and Pacific beaches.

  • Autum in Sonsonate

    A colonial town of cobbled streets, art and culture on the shores of Lake Suchitlán.

  • Host Families

    Homestays support daily interaction, meals and practical Spanish use.

Spanish learning becomes more meaningful when participants live the culture.

This landing page sells the full experience: a destination, a community, a family environment, guided excursions and practical Spanish in real-life settings.
