Language school Puerto Vallarta
Solexico

You will study Spanish just moments from the Pacific Ocean, in the historic centre of Puerto Vallarta, with its beautiful streets of other worldly charm. The classrooms are bright and tastefully decorated. A conference room is used for expositions on Mexican culture and “Spanish cinema” evenings, and a spacious cafeteria provides a place to relax and meet with other students during breaks. The top floor of the centre is reserved for salsa dance lessons and parties organised by the school. After classes, you are within easy reach of the numerous restaurants and cafés where Mexican fiestas begin.

Accomodation

Host family
Sharing the daily life and experiences of a family in Puerto Vallarta is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the Mexican culture and practise Spanish daily outside of the classroom. You will stay in a single room (or double if you are travelling as a couple) and share breakfast and dinner with your host family.

Leisure

Whatever the season, a wide range of outdoor activities will fill your days at Puerta Vallarta: diving, hiking, horse riding, windsurfing, kite flying or fishing… The hinterland is also worth the detour, from the luxurious forests of the Sierra Madre to the picturesque 17th century villages. Our partner school also proposes weekend excursions to discover other areas: Guadalajara and of course Tequila. In the evenings, students meet in the beachside cafés for parties that rarely finish before dawn.
