Spanish Immersion Designed Around Your Family
No two families are the same, which is why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all family Spanish course. Before you arrive, we’ll speak with you by video call to understand what your family enjoys and what you want to get from your time in Mexico. We can then tailor your immersion experience around your children’s ages and interests as well as your own, with activities ranging from salsa, bachata and cumbia classes, Mexican cookery and arts and crafts to ceramics workshops, visits to the Cuernavaca Children’s Museum and trips to water parks or Six Flags.

Where possible, we can arrange joint activities and excursions with local Mexican children of similar ages to your own children, giving them the opportunity to make friends and use Spanish naturally with children their own age. Previous family groups have taken part in joint immersion activities with children from local schools, creating memorable opportunities for cultural exchange and helping children experience everyday Mexican life from a local perspective.
