 Cancún is located at the south-eastern tip of the Yucatan peninsula, in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.
The peninsula is largely a karstic formation, composed of limestone bedrock. Cenotes or sinkholes are wiedespread in the northern lowlands. These sinkholes were and are the main water source for many ancient and contemporary Maya people.
The Hotel-Zone (beach) is situated on a peninsula, approximately 20 km long and 400 m wide, surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean sea. All the beaches are free to the public. Buses run every 3 to 5 minutes between the Hotel-Zone and downtown.
Cancún has an excellent climate. You can swim in the sea the whole year. Daily average high temperatures range from 81 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (27 to 32 Celcius) with the hottest average temperatures in July and August. However, temperature can climb up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit ( 38 Celciuls) Low temperatures seldom dip below 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 Celcius).

Isla Mujeres is a small island about 12 miles from the coast of the Yucatan peninsula. It is a nice place for snorkeling only 20 minutes by boat from Puerto Juárez in Cancún.
Cozumel is a beautiful island with spectacular coral reefs and great nature. A one-hour drive from Cancun takes you to Playa del Carmen where you can take the ferry that leaves every hour for a 45 minute boat ride to Cozumel.

 In Cancún (México) you can choose between:
- Host families
A key part of our program is the home stays we offer with selected families. All students are encouraged to participate in this opportunity, as it provides an invaluable source of Spanish instruction as well as a wonderful interpersonal experience. In general, home stays are regarded as the most effective way to put into practice the Spanish you learn in the classroom. Living with a family who speaks no English, in combination with intensive study, provides a wholly integrated exposure to both the language and the culture. In this way the learning process is greatly facilitated, as is the speed with which fluency is acquired.
You can choose between bed and breakfast and half board program.

The school residence is located right on the school campus with 4 bedrooms. It is a very quiet and peaceful area. You will have your own room and share the kitchen and living room with other students. The rooms are equipped with single/double bed and fan (no air conditioning).
