Description

Learn Spanish in La Paz, enjoy your Spanish learning vacation in this quaint Mexican town, founded in 1535 by Herman Cortés.

For a small town, La Paz has much to offer: historic architecture, museums, restaurants, stores, universities, parks and a beautiful boardwalk along the coast. Perfect for water sports, the Sea of Cortés is home to countless species of marine plants and animals, forming such a unique ecosystem that it was once baptized by Jacques Cousteau as "THE AQUARIUM OF THE WORLD."

The school is located 1 block above the Malecon (boardwalk along the Bay), 7 blocks from the city center in a modern building.
