“The cultural activities the program planned were top notch, including a private night-time tour of the National Museum of Anthropology, a private tour of an award winning mid-century modern home, and a night out at Mexico City’s most celebrated restaurant Pujol. The breakfast and lunches served at the hotel were also delicious and thoughtfully interwoven into the immersion experience.”

“Learning sessions, whether in the classroom or at a museum were engaging AND fun. I laughed so much. In addition, activities outside of the classroom and our location in Mexico City provided a great means of exploring the city despite being there for immersion.”
