We are part of Balsa Surf Camp family, located in the nicest and tranquil area of Montañita in Ecuador, one minute walk from the beach and the most famous surf spot known as "La Punta", there’s always a way to stay entertained between your spanish classes, such as our in-house yoga studio, restaurant or personal development courses, or for those looking for more social activities at night town is only 10 minutes away.
Our classes are outdoor but comfortable, where nature blends perfectly with the learning environment, the student can relax in all the common areas and enjoy a complementary coffee or tea

I highly recommend complementing your vacation time with a Spanish course at "La Escuelita Language Immersion". Gabi is an excellent teacher and perfectly prepares the classes based on your individual language level and your objectifs. She works with very helpful materials for basic and intermediate/advanced level students.
Professionally and personally I really enjoyed the classes with her and noticed a clear progres over my 3 week program.
"La Escuelita" is perfectly located on the famous "punta" of Montañita, which is the quieter and more relaxed part of the village. The school is part of the Balsa Surf Camp, the ideal place to stay, eat, relax and enjoy your time there. Around, you will find chilled beach bars and a very good gastronomic variety.
Over all, I can't be grateful enough for this wonderful experience.
Mil veces GRACIAS, Gabi!
