Oaxaca & San Cristobal De Las Casas, Mexico
May 31 through June 28th, 2008
Instructors Vicki Skeels and Kathleen Taylor have designed a program that will provide students with the rare opportunity of immersing themselves in Oaxacan culture and traditions while becoming actively involved in the community.
Oaxacan has peaks almost 10,000 feet (more than 3,000 metres) high, caverns among the deepest in the world, virgin beaches, hidden jungles, and luminous valleys that house populations where, as a crucible, cultures of all people who once lived in its midst come together. Zapotecs, Mixtecs, and the fourteen other ethnic groups still present in its culture and customs; even the Spaniards. Oaxaca is the most diverse state in Mexico.
For the first 3 weeks students will have the privilege to study and explore Oaxacan culture with excursions to local artisan villages, museums, and archeological sites. In addition students may enroll in a personal development class that includes active involvement in the community as a volunteer.
On June 21 The group will travel to San Cristobal de las Casas where students will reside in the Na Balom guesthouse for the remainder of the program while exploring the central highlands and villages of Chiapas.
Program fee $3395 includes round-trip airfare, 21 nights home-stay accommodation in Oaxaca and 7 nights in San Cristobal guesthouse, daily breakfasts, 14 lunches, excursions, transfers and all in-country transportation, Spanish instruction, services of on-cite staff, and much more.
