GRAND AMAZON LODGE AND JUDER VIVAS (HOLA JUDE!)

Presents

The First Annual Spanish Intensive Program July 3 to 9, 2022

Grand Amazon Lodge and Renowned Spanish Professor Juder Vivas (Hola Jude!) are proud to present the first annual Amazon Spanish Intensive Program. This will be a one-week Spanish immersion course in the Amazon Rainforest. Anyone interested in learning, practicing and perfecting their skills in Spanish will enjoy this experience in the beautiful Amazon Rainforest to be held at the Grand Amazon Lodge in Peru:  https://grandamazontours.com/

This course is designed for the high beginner to the advanced level Spanish student. You will have classes on grammar with Jude at the Lodge. Following your lesson, you will have the opportunity to practice your skills in Spanish while taking jungle walks, boat excursions, piranha fishing, or visiting a local community. Each evening after dinner we will have a lecture from staff biologist, Alfredo Dosantos on many topics. You will have time to ask questions or to discuss and share with fellow students your daily experiences. After our evening lecture, you can take nocturnal boat ride and see the Southern Cross or be bewildered by the beauty of the Milky Way.  If you feel adventurous you will be offered a nocturnal jungle walk. Other activities include jungle cooking classes, craft-making with the local women, early morning bird watching, and playing soccer with the local children.

The Grand Amazon Lodge is located on the Yanayacu River, a small tributary of the Amazon River. It has a pristine location within the Tamshiyacu-Tahauyo Communal Reserve. This national reserve is known for its high diversity of species.
