"Jamie brought home more than polished Spanish language skills...He gained new inspiration, self-confidence, a broader, deeper sense of self and new perspectives on life...He came home more mature... Listening to Jamie's stories and watching the changes in him when he came back made me realize that the instructors were obviously well-trained in how to be outstanding role models and exemplify strong values. They knew how to handle teenagers, group dynamics, promote leadership, motivate and inspire young adults...I would recommend the Dragons program highly."

Latin America

In Latin America, Dragons has built a number of programs that appeal to a broad range of interests and expose a side of the region not often seen by the average traveler.  Whether joining us on a language immersion program in the Guatemalan Highlands, a service learning and indigenous cultures-focused program in Peru, an environmental studies course in Brazil, or a program that surveys the extraordinary ecological and cultural diversity of the Andes and Amazon, all of our Latin America journeys offer profound learning opportunities set against a vibrant and complex backdrop. 

 

On a Dragons Latin America program, expect to hone your Spanish language skills; dive into current issues such as immigration and trade; explore topics related to indigenous movements, conquest, revolution, and social justice; get your hands dirty in an environmental service project; and participate in the uncommon beauty, diversity and warmth of life within the jungles and mountains that form the map's edge.
