Such an immersive experience!
February 21, 2026by: Liana Dilauro - United StatesI had a really fun time through this program! I felt like this school was really good at communicating and I felt that three weeks was perfect for a portion of my abroad trip. My host family was so nice and instantly treated me like one of their own and I will miss them as I continue to travel.
Amazing
January 24, 2026by: E P - United StatesWow, I loved my experience at Na’atik. The town/city is really friendly and walkable. I was walking around alone as a foreign looking woman of color with my phone out on Google maps, completely safe and comfortable. My host family is so lovely and cooked me three delicious vegetarian meals a day. Plus tropical fruit EVERYDAY. Loved my private classes and excursions too. Can’t wait to come back
Fue maravilloso!
January 14, 2026by: Dee FLANAGAN - United StatesWe loved our classes. They were adapted to our learning levels and interests. We could not have hoped for more from our host family. They were very patient in conversation, and the food was delicious. Carrillo is a lovely town, with friendly people, and we felt quite safe. 10/10, will visit again!
