ILERI
Panama Spanish School is located in Altos de Betania
- El Dorado, Panama City. It was founded in 1994
as a branch of ILERI Costa Rica.
It
is located a 20 minutes taxi or bus ride from the
downtown and banking areas of the city. It is only
10 minutes away from the only and most accessible
seasonal dry forest in Latin America located in
the Parque Natural Metropolitano complete with tamarin
monkeys, anteaters and sloths.
The
area around the school is perfect for our Spanish
Immersion Program because the students will learn
about the real life in Panama and they will understand
more about our culture and language.

Panamá
city, because of its geographical location, is full of cultural
and ethnic contrasts.
Panamá offers the students an attractive
diversity, from the colonial city to a modern city of skyscrapers;
from the densest jungle in the world to the archipelago with one
of the purest indigenous cultures left in the hemisphere-the kunas.
And Panama is much more than this. It is the robust salsa danced
by its people, the human warmth of the Panamanians who confronts
his difficulties with the rhythm of this happy "tamborillo",
a folk rhythm. Inside of this tropical happiness, we also find a
world of international commerce and finance where you can find merchandise
from all parts of the world at bargain prices at all times of the
year.

Old
Panamá was the center for Spanish exploration and
expansion in the direction of Central and South
America as well as the center of commercial transactions
between the Spanish colonies of the pacific and
Spain and the Caribbean. The ruins of the cathedral
of Piedra, the monasteries, the custom houses and
stone bridges are found in Old Panamá.

Modern Panama is
composed of modern buildings and International Banking Center. In this area, we
can include the Panamá Canal, one of the most outstanding architectural feats
of the contemporary world and a point of strategic importance between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Panamá is also folklore, customs and traditions, which are faithfully
represented by the central provinces of the country. Notable in Panamanian
folklore are the dances, the music of the accordion and of the violin. |
Panamá
is also a shopper’s paradise. Most stores open from 9 Am. to 6 p.m.
seven days a week, though some close on Sundays. Many drugstores
and supermarkets with multiple outlets are open 24 hours a day,
and there are shopping centers grouping various stores with restaurants,
banks, car rentals, theaters, casinos and other services.
Since
the population of Panama is cosmopolitan, there are restaurants
to cater to everyone - Spanish, Argentine, Italian, Peruvian, Korean,
Indian, Mexican, Arabian, Kosher and many more specializing in the
national styles of preparing meat, poultry, pasta, sea foods, vegetables
and desserts. Panama’s own cuisine is rich with spices, specializing
in soups, dishes cooked in oil, and vegetable dishes. The national
dish is ¨Sancocho¨
In Panama there are many historical culture
museums. The most important are the Museum of the Panamanian Man,
the Historical Museum, the Colonial Religious Art Museum, the Natural
Science Museum, the Afro-Antillian Museum, the Museum of Contemporary
Art and the in-house Museum of the National Bank of Panamá.
