Iguana Abroad program - simply awesome

I give the Iguana Abroad Program 5-plus stars! My experience was absolutely top-notch. I’ve always dreamed of having the opportunity to spend an extended time in Mexico and truly immerse myself in the culture, music, food, people, history, language, and everything else the country offers. After extensive research on many programs, I’m so glad I chose the Iguana Abroad program.

The two leaders, whom I affectionately call “the Harrys,” made my experience unforgettable. They took the time to understand my goals and interests, ensuring the program was tailored to me. They were always quick to respond to my questions, using various methods of communication (video calls, emails, and texts), and their attention to detail made a world of difference. From the moment they picked me up at the airport to ensuring I met my host family, settled in comfortably, and got acquainted with my new neighborhood, the Harrys went above and beyond to make me feel welcome.

One of the program's highlights was the university campus where I studied Spanish. It was absolutely beautiful, with stunning architecture and vibrant surroundings that inspired learning every day. The teachers were incredible—patient, supportive, and creative. They not only helped me throughout the learning process but made it genuinely fun with engaging lessons and activities. The program’s design was brilliant in how it combined classroom learning with practical opportunities to practice speaking Spanish in real-life settings. From chatting with locals to participating in cultural activities, every moment helped me gain confidence and improve my skills.

Another highlight was the thoughtfully planned excursions to historical sites. I had the chance to explore iconic landmarks, ancient ruins, and museums that brought Mexico’s rich history to life. Additionally, I was able to participate in local festivities, from colorful street parades to vibrant cultural celebrations, which gave me an authentic glimpse into the traditions and joy of Mexican life. These moments created memories I’ll cherish forever.

The program also introduced me to some wonderful restaurants, and we shopped local markets to prepare chicken enchiladas from scratch. Everything was delicious. I truly appreciated how the Harrys made an effort to include activities that enriched my cultural understanding while ensuring I felt safe, supported, and fully engaged in every aspect of the program.

If you’re looking for a life-changing adventure that blends cultural immersion, education, and personalized attention, I cannot recommend the Iguana Abroad Program highly enough. It exceeded all my expectations and left me with a deeper appreciation for Mexico, its culture, and its people. Thank you to the Harrys and the Iguana Abroad team for an experience I’ll treasure forever!
