ITINERARY

Open the buttons below to learn more about the places we’ll visit. 👇🏼

Basílica de la Virgen de Guadalupe

It is the most visited Marian shrine in the world, second only to St. Peter’s Basilica. It is said that around twenty million pilgrims visit the sanctuary every year, with nearly nine million arriving around December 12, the day when Our Lady of Guadalupe, an icon of Mexican culture, is celebrated.
We’ll begin our journey by visiting this miraculous woman.

Plaza de las Tres Culturas

The Plaza de las Tres Culturas is an important historical and urban site located in Tlatelolco, Mexico City.
Its name comes from the fact that it brings together buildings representing three essential stages of Mexican identity: the pre-Hispanic period, the colonial era, and modern Mexico.
It’s another side of Mexico City’s history that we need to discover.

Tianguis La Lagunilla

A tianguis is a traditional Mexican open-air or street market with pre-Hispanic origins. It is temporarily set up in streets or plazas on specific days of the week.
Tianguis Lagunilla is one of the most popular and busiest areas in Mexico City’s Historic Center, and there we’ll find countless interesting, beautiful, and unique things.
Bring your eco bags!

Coyoacán

Coyoacán is a green, relaxed neighborhood in the south of Mexico City, where Frida Kahlo, Trotsky, Diego Rivera, and other fascinating historical figures once lived.
This area is also home to UNAM, the National Autonomous University of Mexico — the largest and most important public university in Mexico and all of Ibero-America, known for its academic excellence, its huge student community, and its invaluable cultural legacy.

Biblioteca Vasconcelos

An iconic cultural venue and one of the most impressive mega-libraries in the world, with a rich book collection and exquisite modern architecture.
Popularly known as the “mega-library,” it functions as an open, free, and inclusive public space dedicated to learning, reading, and social connection.
Dedicated to TOW’s book lovers.

Secret Spots in Downtown Mexico City + Churro Workshop

Mexico City and its lively, fast-paced downtown are an endless source of places, faces, and experiences. Come with us to explore some of the spots we absolutely love. Plus, we’ll try delicious churros and even learn how to make some in a workshop.

Oaxaca Historic Center + Alebrije Workshop

We’ll walk through the city’s historic center and fall in love with its colorful colonial architecture.
Here, we’ll discover a vibrant traditional culture shaped by Indigenous communities, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We’ll also visit an alebrije workshop and create one of our own.

Tour to Hierve el Agua

For the comfort of all our students, we’ll take a tour with a local company to the Hierve el Agua Nature Reserve, where we’ll see its magnificent petrified waterfalls.
Along the way, we’ll also visit other important sites, such as the Tree of Tule and the Mitla archaeological site.

Puerto Escondido y Pacific Ocean

We’ll travel to the city of Puerto Escondido and visit some of the most charming beaches on Oaxaca’s Pacific coast, where we’ll enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Reviews

I think the itinerary and accessibility to all levels was great. I was brand new to spanish and it was still great! I think all of the activities were really good.

I can’t express enough how much I gained from and enjoyed our CampTOW trip with Aly and Gigi.  Since I hadn’t really used my Spanish since high school classes (over 12 years ago, and totally not the same!), I was nervous entering the heart of Mexico for an immersive experience.  Meeting the CampTOW team put me at ease immediately. The trip was educational yet fun, striking the perfect balance of cultural exploration and language immersion in a unique, real, and relaxed setting…

… Every moment was a highlight, but I especially loved diving into Mexico City’s industrialist art history at the museum, making Oaxacan Chocolate alongside a 100% Spanish-speaking chocolatier, and navigating the one-of-a-kind party river in Xochimilco (the home of the axolotl!)

This is by far the best way to learn Spanish in a real way outside the classroom as someone in my late 20s (our group was mid-20s and older).  It checks all the boxes: educational, immersive, exciting, fun for a group, and most importantly, realistic.  Thank you Aly and Gigi. I can’t wait to travel with you again and keep flexing my Spanish muscles.

I had such a great experience on the TOW Mexico City trip! I was a little nervous beforehand because I’m newer to learning Spanish, but Ale and Gigi did an amazing job making sure I never felt left behind. The itinerary had a fantastic flow, learning new vocabulary in the morning, and then heading out into the city to apply what we learned while exploring. It was a great effective way to learn! I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to improve their Spanish while taking in a new city.
