The Destination
Come study in the heart of Mexico!
Guadalajara, one of Mexico’s most important and historic cities, has an attractive colonial downtown with beautiful plazas, churches, theaters, government mansions, and convents. Immerse yourself in the language and culture of the country of origin of the majority of Latinos in the U.S. Travel past the border
and discover a country with large vibrant cities, fascinating regional cultures, and stunning pre-Hispanic and Spanish colonial architecture. Some of the city's civic buildings boast masterpiece murals by José Clemente Orozco, the world-renowned Mexican social realist painter.
Guadalajara has often been called the most Mexican of cities because of its authentic Mariachi music, tequila, charros (cowboys), historic haciendas and bullfighting tradition. Catholic rituals mixed with indigenous festivals call the faithful to its mystical churches throughout the year. Multinational commerce and enterprise thrive in modern offices, open markets and trendy malls. Stroll through the jewelry malls and observe hundreds of competing silver and gold merchants, or enjoy a visit to an open-air market
offering everything from records to exotic fruit juices.
Guadalajara is also renowned for its arts and crafts, which are heavily influenced by Spanish and indigenous cultures. The sophisticated shops of Tlaquepaque teem with handicrafts that are among the best in the world.
