We have learned from experience that cultural activities have an extremely positive influence on students’ intellectual involvement in the acquisition of a foreign language. It is for this reason that we recommend taking part in everything the city and the region have to offer. The area offers ample opportunities for fishing, whale watching and scuba diving.

• Guadalajara: The capital city of the state of Jalisco and the second largest city of the country. Many consider this city to be “the most Mexican” in terms of culture. The birthplace of Mariachi music, here you will find purest Mexico.

• Tequila, Mexico: A town renowned for it’s tequila production. The town is full of agave plants that have a distinct tinge of blue. Tequila is distilled from these plants.

In the afternoons we offer workshops and activities that include:
• Cooking
• Arts and crafts
• Salsa classes
• Singing Mexican songs
• A fiesta or a picnic.
