Venezuela

National flag of VenezuelaNational flag of Venezuela


The country of dramatic contrasts. Its unique geography ranges from the long Caribbean coastline in the north to the dense Amazon Forest in the south.

To the east lies the stunning Gran Sabana plateau, while the peaks of the Andes dominate the west.


In view of the actual political situation, restriction of freedom of expression and ongoing human rights violations in the country, we currently don't recommend to take Spanish languages courses in Venezuela.
