Make the experience of your life and stay in a Mayan family. In order for you to make the most progress in your Spanish language skills, our school offers the opportunity to live with a local family in San Pedro. You will be able to practice your Spanish at home while experiencing the life and culture of a local Guatemalan family. Daily interactions with your family help make your experience unforgettable!
All of our homestays offer accommodations seven nights a week, a private room, internet, and filtered water.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided five days a week, Monday thru Friday. Saturday and Sunday are the family's typical days of rest and thus food is not included. Our families can also cater to vegetarians and other special dietary restrictions, just let us know in advance.
The best way to learn a language is to be immersed in it!
I have traveled to San Pedro many times and I stayed in a Mayan family too. This was a great and funny experience. The food was always great, especially one time: My host mom wanted to cook something really amazing for me. She thought that we Germans always like sausages and green beans. When she prepared the meal, she used garlic. But not only a little bit, she put a whole garlic bulb in there. Wow, that was an experience which I will never forget. But beside of this funny story, the meals were A+ and the private room was clean and neat. Imagine that to stay in a family means to learn everyday something new from the Mayan people. But if you want to have your time-out that is also no problem.
