Spanish Immersion Program
Authentic Spanish Immersion
Na’atik’s Spanish Immersion program is a unique opportunity to improve your Spanish, experience authentic Mexican culture and make unforgettable memories, all while supporting a good cause! Based off the beaten path, in the city of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, our school is at the heart of a community untouched by tourism. English is not widely spoken here, giving you the perfect chance to practice your Spanish in genuine everyday scenarios.
During your immersion program you will stay with one of our welcoming homestay families. Homestays are the ideal way to experience the local culture and ensure exposure to spoken Spanish throughout the day. Your host family provides three meals a day, allowing you to enjoy the delicious local cuisine as eaten by families across the region. While we always encourage staying with a homestay in order to make the most of your studies, we can also recommend local hotels if needed.
On top of 18 in-class hours with highly trained bilingual teachers, your program will include:
A guided walking tour of our historic city, which was once the capital of the Maya nation.
A welcome meal showcasing popular local delicacies such as salbutes and panuchos.
An excursion to a beautiful local cenote or stunning hidden lagoon.
A cooking class where you can try your hand at a regional specialty (for stays of two weeks or more).
We also offer a wide range of optional activities and excursions.
Na’atik is a non-profit school, with your program helping us to provide subsidized classes and free library access to local and Indigenous students. Na’atik uses only local suppliers and partners, ensuring that proceeds stay within, and help grow, the community here in Felipe Carrillo Puerto. To find out more about how your booking helps provide life-changing opportunities, visit our Impact page.
“This was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I stayed for 5 weeks and loved every part of it - I wish I never had to leave!”
