We also organise excursions to some of the region's most interesting locations such as the ancient Mayan cities of Tulum and Chichen Itza; the island of Cozumel, famous for its coral reefs and marine life; or one of the region's many superb nature reserves.
These activities have an extra cost, these are not included in the course fee.
We can also organise weekend excursions to the magical city of Havana, Cuba, which is just a 1.5 hour flight from Cancun airport. These excursions outside Playa del Carmen are optional and are therefore not included in the course fee.
We give you a copy of the social programme planned for the following 2-week period when you arrive, with a typical programme including activities like a walking tour of Playa, a cooking class, games on the beach, mexican films, films on the beach, Spanish conversations, kermesses, special activities (Día de Reyes, Amor y Amistad, independencia de Mexico, Día de Muertos), etc.
Additional activities
We will also help students plan their own social activities if they
want to do something extra like go to a movie, listen to live music,
go trekking, etc.
Included in your course fee: Spanish guide on visits and excursions,
welcome and farewell cocktails, all activities held in the school, visits
to places of interest in Playa del Carmen and all materials.
