This is a program for one or two people. During the first week you will be totally immersed in the Spanish language. On the second week you will be able to practice your newly-acquired Spanish skills while making time-honored Mexican recipes with Chef Ana. Guests will take part in 45 hours of Spanish instruction with accommodation at Anders Languages^® during the first week and a complete 7-night package at La Villa Bonita with Chef Ana.

The Spanish Classes

Your Spanish classes are held at the Anders Languages^®  Residence.

The Mexican Cooking Experience

Chef Ana of La Villa Bonita will take you on a delicious award-winning culinary excursion into the heart of Colonial Mexico, teaching you the secrets of time-honored family recipes.  In the morning, you will go to the Byzantine market with Chef Ana to learn how to select the day’s ingredients.  After breakfast, you will take part in “hands-on” classes, learning how to make such dishes as chiles en nogada, red and green mole, flan, and tamales among many others.  After the cooking is completed in the afternoon, you will enjoy a leisurely lunch in the garden of the delicious fruits of your labor.  Visit the La Villa Bonita website for more details.

The Excursions

Friday afternoons and during the weekends you will have plenty of time to explore Cuernavaca, Tepoztlán and its surroundings such as the pyramids of Teotihuacán or the colonial town of Taxco.  You can visit these places on your own or with a licensed guide.  For more information about the excursions visit the La Villa Bonita or Anders Languages^® websites.

Accommodations

Depending on the plan you choose, you will be accommodated either at the Anders Languages^® residence or at La Villa Bonita.  Anders Languages^® and La Villa Bonita will take care of all your transportation between both schools.
