Learning Spanish and Latin American Culture in Bolivia will take you on a journey that starts at the feet of the Andes Mountains, taking you back in time and bringing the memories and legacy of a millenarian culture back to life...
More than 500 years after the invasion of the Spaniards, the remains of a mighty empire, still trying to find its identity and find rebirth in a new culture based on the old traditions...
The Spanish conquistadores took riches of gold and silver back to Europe, but they brought the Spanish language which remained. This brought the rise of a new culture based on the mixture of 2 continents...
What you will find in Bolivia and Peru, is this gracious blend coming to life... a spicy world of mixed colors, music, legends and dances...
How much does it cost?
