  I’ve been waiting to write this review to encourage others to take part in the wonderful community that is Caminhos!

  I planned to take courses here for one week only but I was so convinced by their teaching technique that I decided to come back for another week at the... read more end of my travel. The courses were sometimes a bit slow for me as Portuguese is my 6th language. However, we had a lot of people in my class who never learned any foreign language so they clearly needed that time. The courses are also ment for long term learners and you clearly put less energy in a course if you are there for 2months instead of one week only.
The afterschool program is very good as well. They offer a lot of interesting activities but they become a bit repetitive if you stay in the school for a longer time.
The organisation overall was very professional and the teachers were very motivated, well educated and friendly. I would definatly recommend this school and come here again if I found the time. More

  I spent 8 weeks with Caminhos during my first trip to Rio & I plan on coming back to the school as soon as I can! I had 4 different... read more teachers, all of whom were amazing.
