Why Mexico?

Cuernavaca, "The City of Eternal Spring," boasts yearround sunshine and flowers that spill over walls in an abundance of color. Located in central Mexico, just 50 miles/90 km south of Mexico City on the route to Taxco and Acapulco, Cuernavaca is close to many points of interest for weekend excursions and additional travel, including the capital, beaches, mountains, colonial towns, and indigenous pueblos.

Mexico is an open door for Latin America where more than 200 million people are Spanish speakers. The Latin America culture has an uncountable richness in which different local cultures have a very vivid presence.

Mexico shares a great border with the United States where more than 35 million people with a Latin origin live. These peoples' common historical periods have been tremendously important for the development of both countries.

Spanish Language today is the third language worldwide after English and Chinese and is quickly increasing, including in those countries where Spanish isn't the native language. To study Spanish language today is to be ready for the future and culturally competent.

CETLALIC students help plan and participate in excursions to a variety of historic, cultural, and recreation sites, such as:

  • Taxco, the colonial "Silver Capital of the World," in the mountains of Guerrero
  • Las Estacas, the natural spring and river so beautiful it served as the shooting location for "Tarzan"
  • Tepoztlán, an indigenous town and artists' colony set among mountains (known to be enchanted by townspeople), with a strong tradition of defending the community's autonomy
  • Mexico City, with an endless variety of historic and cultural sites, including the National Anthropology and Frida Kahlo Museums, the Basílica de Guadalupe, the National Palace and Cathedral, the Templo Mayor Aztec ruins, and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico (UNAM) among others
  • Museum and Headquarters of Emiliano Zapata, in Tlaltizapán, historic town of the Revolution (1910)
  • Xochicalco archeological site and museum, an ancient ceremonial site including 1300 -year-old pyramids and an astronomical observatory
  • Acapulco and Puebla
