Instituto Cultural Oaxaca

The Instituto Cultural Oaxaca has been a gateway to Mexico and to the Spanish language since 1984. Taking part in the family-run Institute's language immersion program enables you to really experience Mexican culture whilst learning Spanish through the combination of our intensive language program and daily cultural activities. You will study in a relaxed and friendly environment, surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens on a 19th century estate. The Institute is located in the colonial city of Oaxaca, a UNESCO World Heritage site, set on a plateau surrounded by the Sierra Madre mountain ranges. The indigenous groups that once inhabited the nearby archaeological sites of Monte Alban, Mitla and Yagul continue to be an integral part of the state's culture, and influence the language, lifestyle, cuisine and art that the city is famed for. A short walk from the Institute is the tree-lined zocalo, or town square, which is ringed with cafes where you can sit and enjoy the atmosphere of the parades, live music and bustle that characterizes the city.
