Spanish Language Schools in Monterrico, Guatemala

Monterrico: The small town of Monterrico is situated on the Pacific coast of Guatemala. Known for its volcanic black sand beaches and annual influx of sea turtles, the town serves as a major weekend beach resort for citizens and tourists of Guatemala City. The area is steeped in a sultry, tropical flavor and rustic wooden-slat and thatched-roof huts line the shores. A handful of turtle conservation organisations operate in the area because the long stretch of beach serves as a breeding ground for four different species of sea turtles. There’s not too much to do except sunbathe and stroll lazily through town. There are mangroves nearby which are home to a great diversity of fauna like birds, whales and dolphins and awesome volcanoes that shimmer in the hinterland.
