Learn Spanish Through Full Immersion in Mexico
At Iguana Abroad, learning Spanish goes well beyond the classroom. Your mornings begin with Spanish lessons taught by native-speaking teachers, adapted to your existing level. But the real learning continues throughout the day, as you explore Cuernavaca, meet local people, take part in cultural activities and discover the surrounding region.
You’ll have opportunities to use Spanish in all kinds of everyday situations, from ordering food and chatting with market vendors to learning new recipes and asking questions during excursions. Rather than simply studying the language, you’ll experience it as part of daily life in Mexico. It’s an enjoyable and practical way to build confidence, improve your communication skills and make the most of your time abroad.
Explore the Most Fascinating Places in Central Mexico
Cuernavaca is a fantastic base for discovering the history, culture and natural beauty of central Mexico. You could spend a day wandering through the cobbled streets and traditional market of Tepoztlán, exploring the remarkable Aztec ceremonial temple carved into the mountainside at Malinalco, or discovering the impressive pre-Hispanic pyramids and temples of Xochicalco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If you’d prefer something more relaxed, you could head to Las Estacas Natural Park to swim in its crystal-clear spring-fed river and enjoy its beautiful tropical surroundings. Or perhaps you’d like to experience the famous canals of Xochimilco in Mexico City, taking a ride aboard a colorful traditional trajinera. With so many fascinating destinations within reach, you can choose the excursions that interest you most and make your Spring Break a mixture of history, adventure, nature and cultural discovery.
Experience Mexican Culture Through Hands-On Activities
Some of the best ways to discover Mexico are to get involved. Our immersion activities give you the opportunity to try something new, meet local people and experience Mexican traditions first-hand, all while putting your Spanish into practice.
You might find yourself preparing traditional Mexican dishes in a cooking class, learning salsa or bachata, or exploring a local market and discovering unfamiliar ingredients and regional specialties. If you’re feeling creative, you can try ceramics and traditional crafts, while visits to historic sites such as the Aztec-era pyramids of Teopanzolco offer another perspective on the region’s fascinating past. From food and music to art and history, there are plenty of ways to experience Mexican culture beyond the usual tourist attractions. You can choose the activities that appeal to you, creating a varied and enjoyable immersion experience.
