Beaches, abundant sunshine, and a lush, tropical climate are only a few reasons that Puerto Vallarta is a vacation “hotspot”. Puerto Vallarta rests on the same latitude as Hawaii, which means basically the same temperature and climate year round. Besides which, it is nestled against verdant hills which many folks love to explore.

Puerto Vallarta has something for everyone. The heart of the city boasts cobblestone streets, open air markets, art galleries, and boutiques. This is old Mexico. However, a short distance away you will find modern facilities such as, five star resorts, all types of hostels and hotels, luxury condominiums, golf courses, and much more. In Puerto Vallarta, you can use a barebones budget of $17.00 per night, or stay in a fantastic, modern, penthouse with all the luxuries for a little under $1,000.00 a night. Your budget. Your choice. However, we do recommend staying with a Spanish family, if possible, for your course.

Naturally, bars, not to mention restaurants, have the same range. Do you prefer tacos on the street, or something exotic from a gourmet restaurant?. Are you happy with a local beer, or do your tastes in beverages lean toward drinks with exotic names and, perhaps, umbrellas as part of the presentation? In Puerto Vallarta, you decide.

Study sessions are either half a day or all day depending on your needs. Most students like the 9:00 am to 2:00 pm schedule as this gives them plenty of time for leisure activities.
