The country has fourteen major river systems that start in the volcanic mountain ranges and flow out towards the Pacific Ocean or the Caribbean sea. Here you can find world-famous white-water rapids, with beautiful sceneries along the banks and amazing waterfalls along the way.

Although most Latin American countries present great opportunities for hiking, only Peru provides the opportunity to walk the most popular hike of the continent: the classic Inca Trail to the Inca citadel Machu Picchu. Our school in Cusco offers this hike to Machu Picchu in combination with Spanish lessons in Cusco.

Here you can make your tropical paradise dreams come true. If adventure sports are craved, in Montañita you can do surfing, waterskiing and scuba diving.

Bariloche, in northern Patagonia, sits on the shores of the pristine Lake Nahuel Huapi in the foothills of the Andes. The setting is gorgeous, and the views are stunning.
