Day 1: ¡Bienvenidos a Mérida!
Touch down at MID airport and let our driver whisk you to our boutique oasis near Paseo de Montejo. After check-in and a refreshing “agua de chaya,” we gather pool-side for official introductions. You’ll meet your teachers, snag your welcome pack, and set personal language goals. At sunset we head to a nearby Casona for a Yucatecan tasting menu—think sopa de lima and cochinita pibil—. By the time you stroll home under the fairy-lit ceibas, you’ll already have added a dozen new phrases to your vocabulary.

Admire the neoclassical columns of the iconic Teatro Peón Contreras, and peek into centuries-old casas and casonas—like the storied Casa de Montejo, a window into over 400 years of history.
