Birding & Spanish

Stay & Spanish – Birdwatching & Language Learning in Minca

At Stay & Spanish, you can experience the best of Minca: world-class birdwatching and immersive Spanish learning, all in one place. Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, our school and accommodation sit right in the heart of one of Colombia’s richest bird habitats.

Start your mornings with the magic of nature:
Head out on your own for sunrise birdwatching, or let us arrange a guided tour with a local expert who will help you spot some of the region’s most iconic species. With more than 300 bird species in the area, every day brings something new.

After your morning adventure, continue your day with engaging Spanish lessons just steps from where you stay. Our garden is a peaceful place to relax, study, and even keep spotting birds while doing your homework — toucans, tanagers, hummingbirds, and flycatchers often visit the trees around the school.

Here, learning happens naturally.
With birdsong in the background and Minca’s calm atmosphere surrounding you, Spanish feels easier, more enjoyable, and deeply connected to the place you’re exploring.

Stay & Spanish – learn the language, live the nature, and discover Minca’s extraordinary birdlife.
