Viña del Mar, two hours northwest of Santiago, is considered one of the most essential tourist cities in Chile. Also a neighbor to the port city of Valparaiso, Viña del Mar is famous for its cable cars, museums, traditional Chilean restaurants and street art – you’ll get a taste of the city’s unique culture on every street.


You can easily find outdoor performances, dance classes, theater performances, carnivals, and more in Viña del Mar. The area boasts an excellent variety of outdoor activities that range from national parks and sea sports to horseback riding and sandboarding. Viña del Mar and Valparaiso are bustling with young people due to the great number of university campuses in the area, making it a fun place to study Spanish abroad.

Our school is located in a safe neighborhood in the heart of Viña del Mar and just a few blocks away from the beach. A typical day will not only include your scheduled Spanish courses, but also plenty of free time to spend with new friends. Grab a bite to eat, go on a shopping spree, or have a relaxing afternoon on the beach – however you spend your time away from the books, it’s hard to beat the warm rays of sunshine and the exciting nightlife of Viña del Mar.

Prime Location. The school’s neighborhood is only a few blocks from the beach, one of South America’s most famous oceanside resort areas and many other popular spots.

Convenient. Since the school is just a two-hour commute from Santiago, Ecela Viña del Mar can be used as a stand-alone school or easily combined with our location in Chile’s capital.

Flexible Options. Start any week of the year and study from one week to four months with no additional charge if you decide to switch to another Ecela school.

Scheduled Activities. You can learn to surf, tour the neighboring area in Valparaiso, visit local national parks and so much more when you study Spanish in Viña del Mar.

Thank you for making me feel that I was more than just a language student.

I spent one month in ECELA Viña del Mar and could not have been more pleased with my progress in Spanish, and happy with my experience in general. Both the excellent staff and instructors were professional, kind, and helpful.

The feeling they were able to convey was that they not only wanted to help with the advancement of the language, but that students felt comfortable and confident navigating a new city, language and culture.
