Description
During the 12-day-Trip you will always be accompanied by Mexican Rotaractors as well as a mexican Spanish teacher and guides, who are fluent in both, English and Spanish.
Our trip intends to foster friendship and good will among Rotaractors. Therefore we want to share our culture with you! We will start with an introduction to Spanish culture. Everyday we will visit beautiful touristic places and eat mexican traditional food, as well as participate in activities organised by different Rotaract & Rotary Clubs. As part of sharing our culture with you, trip participants will have 32 hours of Spanish classes with a highly qualified native teacher!
You will visit the most trending spots in the city and nearby magical towns. Beautiful castles, the coolest museums, pyramids, the zoo, the biggest underground aquarium of Mexico, the National Palace, typical but modern Markets, Xochimilco are among the amazing places we will take you!
The coolest thing about this Trip, is that it is designed by Rotaractors of District 4170 who have had the opportunity to participate on RYLAs, Rotaract Trips, other programs from Rotary and the best is that we also have the experience of the previous Mexico Language Trips!! This is the perfect opportunity for you to expand your Rotaract network and start learning Spanish in Mexico, a country with a vast heritage! Once you come, you will want to stay forever :) ...as previous participants have told us.
