Santiago is the safest and the most prosperous city of South America! And that is not the only thing; it also offers the best living standard of the region.

Santiago is an important starting point for a lot of sports like rafting, hiking, mountaineering (climbing) and skiing. All those activities you can also practise in other parts of Chile.

Santiago is situated in the centre of Chile and consequently an attractive place, as you can easily go on trips and travel comfortably to the north and the south of the country.

Santiago has about 5 million habitants and offers with its theatres, numerous bars, salsa and dance clubs countless cultural and entertaining possibilities. Furthermore it is the best starting point for travels to the most attractive parts of the country, as for example the desert in the north or the Lake District with its beautiful forests and mountains.

There are innumerable possibilities for going on day or weekend trips, for example to the beach or to the mountains. Santiago offers fantastic holidays during all the seasons, thanks to its closeness to the nature, the attractive location and a pleasant climate!

Student Testimonial:
"My confession... I chose ECELA solely based on a recommendation and after 6 weeks all my expectations were not only met, but blown away. I arrived in Santiago with no previous Spanish education and today I can navigate around a city of 6 million people, ask for and give directions, read a menu and order, tell taxi's where I live how to get there, and (most important) flirt with Chilena's in their own "Tongue"!!!! One of the most comforting things about the school is the employees." More
