Bogota Monserrate: The view of the city, where I studied 5 months spanish.
I personally know plenty of folks who chose to study Spanish for a couple of weeks in Bogotá, Colombia, before moving on to other popular Colombian cities like Medellin or Cartagena to study for a couple more weeks. I chose to stay in Bogotá for five months of language and dance classes (Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Cumbia and more!), and it was one of the best experiences of my life!
There are so many countries to experience!
In addition to affordable prices, Latin America is home to at least 20 countries, each with its own food, accents, history, biodiversity and so on.

If you are looking for a more European feel, head down to Argentina or Uruguay and fall in love with the architecture. Many Argentinians can trace their families’ roots back to Italy, and some would say that their names and Spanish dialect even sound Italian. If you want to go to a rumba (a crazy dance party) or enjoy a delicious coffee while chatting with some of the nicest people I’ve met on Earth, you should head to Colombia! Bolivia is a bit of a hidden gem, with its strong Indigenous influence and truly unique landscapes, such as the Uyuni salt flats. Peruvian culture is famous for its cuisine, which boasts a blend of Chinese, Japanese and Latin dishes.
