Why Cuernavaca?
The ultimate location for Spanish immersion
Cuernavaca, a hidden gem in Mexico and just one hour south of Mexico City, stands out as the ultimate destination for Spanish language immersion, offering unique advantages that make it exceptional. To begin with, Cuernavaca’s serene atmosphere and smaller size provide an ideal environment for focused language learning, far removed from the hustle and bustle of larger urban centers. The limited presence of English-speaking tourists and residents makes Cuernavaca the perfect setting for achieving complete Spanish language immersion, allowing our participants to dedicate themselves to their language journey without the distractions of English-speaking interactions.
Cuernavaca’s close-knit Spanish-speaking community facilitates authentic interactions with locals who are eager to engage in conversations with language learners. This contrasts with the fast-paced and cosmopolitan environment found in larger cities, which might hinder opportunities for immersive language practice.
The city’s rich historical significance and cultural heritage, deeply rooted in ancient Aztec traditions, provide a unique backdrop for language learning. Exploring historical landmarks and participating in local festivities allows learners to embrace the Spanish language within a context that enriches their understanding of Mexican culture.
Embrace the charm and advantages of Cuernavaca with Iguana Abroad – a perfect haven for Spanish language enthusiasts seeking an authentic and rewarding immersion experience in the heart of true Mexico, where you can truly experience the authentic culture and lifestyle of this stunning country.
What do our previous Iguanas have to say?
Giving back to the community
At Iguana Abroad we are extremely proud about our contribution to the local Mexican community.
During Iguana Abroad we partner with many local artists, businesses, artisans and traders to provide our series of immersive midweek events and weekend trips. We always choose to work with small independent providers rather than large businesses or international corporations, so that all the money we spend during the course of our programs remains in the local community, stimulating the local economy, boosting the local artisan network and providing support for local indigenous groups.
We are also pleased to encourage homestay accommodation during Iguana Abroad, during which participants stay in the homes of local Mexican families and contribute directly to the household’s domestic income. As well as facilitating authentic cultural exchange and sharing of cultural values, Iguana Abroad ensures that all the money paid by participants for homestay accommodation goes directly to the host family. Ultimately, we believe our homestay network is the most authentic way to give back to the local community and make a real tangible difference to the lives of local Mexican families.
