RETIREE PROGRAM

It’s your time to travel!

This nine-day program is designed for retirees to get a taste of the heart of Mexico while learning Spanish and enjoying cultural outings. You’ll gain an understanding of the fascinating, diverse and warm Mexican culture through first-hand experiences and interactions with local people.

Begin each weekday with two hours of survival Spanish, a maximum of five students per class. Classes will focus on ways to communicate in Spanish and how to feel comfortable traveling in Mexico.

Cultural Classes: Offered each weekday for two hours. Cooking, dancing, history, current events, art and music are just some of our fun activities!

You can pick and choose amongst the various activities offered each day.  Additional Spanish classes are offered at this time as well for those who want to polish their Spanish skills.

Trips: Typical afternoon and weekend excursions: a tour of colonial, downtown Cuernavaca, a visit to Hernan Cortez’s Palace and its Diego Rivera murals, art museums, drinks/dinner at Cuernavaca’s best restaurants, Tepoztlán – a magical town with lush, natural surroundings, Taxco – a colonial town known for its beautiful silver jewelry, a taste of Mexico City’s art and culture.
