Chile Makes Top Five Study Abroad List

River Rafting in Chile
Lets Go is a travel guide written completely by undergrads, so who better to consider the best locations to study abroad. In their latest list they have release Chile as one of the top countries to study abroad. 

The distinct reason they pointed out, was the amazing outdoor activity options, including skiing in the Andes, and hitting the long stretch of beaches on the Pacific Coast. There is certainly plenty of coast in a country that stretches the whole length of the lower portion of South America. 

With such a long stretching nation, you have a variety of terrains and landscapes in which to explore and engage in multiple outdoor activities, no matter what your energy level may be. If you are not the type to just lay on the beach, you can hike in the Andes, snow board its amazing slopes, or trek across immense plains. 

As you can see in the picture above there are also great opportunities to brave the rapids of Chile's amazing river systems. If you are not the type to strap on some crampons for world class mountaineering, then you may enjoy a more low impact stroll threw the countries world class vineyards and sample some of the finest wines in the world. 

While our Spanish school is located in the bustling capital of Santiago, you are never too far from the great fresh air of the outdoors. Our program has great weekend excursions as well as a Ski program for those that want to hit the slopes during the week as well. After all when you are focusing on Spanish immersion for four hours each day or more, and then practicing the language in real world scenarios, it can be great to break loose and enjoy the culture and natural settings that the the beautiful country of Chile has to offer.
