learn Spanish, Learn Maya, Make an Impact.

Our language programs offer an authentic experience, immersing you in Mexican Spanish and Maya culture while supporting the local Maya community in Felipe Carrillo Puerto. Whether in-person or online, our Spanish and Yucatec Maya courses are both taught by native speakers, allowing you to learn the languages in their full complexity while exploring their rich histories.

Your bookings and donations help provide local Maya children with scholarships and extracurricular activities, offering them opportunities they might otherwise lack.
