Upon the arrival each villager will be issued a Southern pasaporte (passport), receive a Spanish name and will be assigned to one of five Spanish-speaking countries offered this year. Villagers will visit all five countries during their exciting journey. They will learn about each county's geography, culture, and traditions. Please click each country to find out more information.

Since each villager will need a Spanish name to go by in the camp, we have prepared a list of Spanish given names, so you can choose one you like.
