Weekly Language Exchanges in Laureles and Poblado!
Twice a week, we host energetic exchanges at our locations in Laureles and Poblado, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Many locals who regularly attend are eager to share their experiences with the international community, making every gathering feel like a family reunion.
Led by our engaging teachers, these meetings are dynamic, entertaining, and enriching. Participants are welcome to bring their own drinks or snacks to add to the festive vibe.
Our exchanges are usually themed, however we encourage participants to suggest their own ideas, leading to some of the most fun, unique, and memorable nights. Food always brings us together, and many themes provide the perfect excuse to share delicious treats. Enjoy Colombian sweets, baked goods, arepas, traditional drinks, and a variety of typical foods that make every night cozy and special.
Explore the Wonders of Antioquia with Our Nature-Filled Excursions!
Discover the breathtaking landscapes of the paradise that is Antioquia, where nature’s beauty shines through its rivers and mountains. Here, language tourism blends seamlessly with conscious tourism, creating an intimate and expansive experience. These are not massive events, but family-style outings that allow ample time to enjoy quality moments, explore, learn, and connect with nature. Hug a tree, dive into deep waters, or listen to the birds singing while sipping on a delicious coffee.
Every quarter, we embark on field trips to explore the charming municipalities surrounding Medellín, such as Guatapé, San Rafael, San Carlos, Santa Fé de Antioquia, Barbosa, and Girardota. We relish sunny days hiking, rivering, observing the local fauna and flora, or simply enjoying a rural experience away from the hustle and bustle of our city.
These outings offer a wonderful opportunity to learn about Antioquia, its language, and its culture while living a magical experience that connects you with the essence of life.
