Arrival Into Mexico

The first part of the Teen Spanish Program starts in Huatulco. Upon arrival at the Huatulco airport, students will be transported to their Hotel in Puerto Escondido called Hotel Santa Fe.

They will be transported to the hotel by minibuses and given time to settle in and relax. Rooms and roommates will be assigned at this time. Once all the students have arrived, they will gather for the Welcome Dinner. Here students will get to know one another and the staff. The next day, the Spanish and adventure activities begin!

Spanish Adventure Camp

The actual Spanish Adventure Program takes place in Puerto Escondido. Puerto Escondido is located on the southwestern Pacific coast of Mexico at the far end of the Mexican Riviera. It is a small, sleepy beach pueblo that is a bit off the beaten tourist path. The town is famous for it fresh seafood as well as for its surfing. The ‘Mexican Pipeline,’ as Playa Zicatela has been nicknamed, is arguably the best surf break in Mexico. Besides Zicatela, there are 7 other beaches and coves along the 10 miles of coastline that make up Puerto Escondido. The crystal blue waters and warm temperatures make it the perfect place for water sports and adventure activities.

The hotel Santa Fe in Puerto Escondido where the students will be staying is a Mediterranean style beach resort that is perfectly located at the south end of town, right on the sand and facing Playa Zicatela. This four star hotel has all the amenities and students will stay in air-conditioned junior suites with cable TV, telephones and balconies. You can visit the hotel on the web at: /www.hotelsantafeinfo.com. There are three swimming pools and two restaurants, all with stunning views of the beach and the tropical sunset.

The Spanish Adventure Program

While in Puerto Escondido the program will focus on three specific aspects; Spanish classes, Surf lessons and Adventure activities. Local professionals and organizations will handle each of these equally important parts of the overall program. The Spanish classes will be taught by Mexican teachers who have years of experience in teaching Spanish as a second language.

The overall goal of the Teen Spanish Program is to give teenagers from all over the world the opportunity to learn Spanish, understand a new culture and have an adventurous and fun time. With this program we believe that the student will not only learn a great deal of Spanish, but will also come away having had an experience of a lifetime.
