Where does the program take place? The beautiful city of Guanajuato!
Guanajuato is one of the most fascinating and rewarding destinations in Mexico.
A unique blend of the old and new
that marries centuries of tradition
with a vibrant young population, the city’s roots go all the way back to the age of the Conquistadors, when the Spanish discovered a seven-mile seam silver under the mountains and turned Guanajuato into the most important mining town in north America. Even today, this heritage still forms a vital and unique part of Guanajuato life: to access the downtown area, you still have to drive through the winding network of tunnels the mining industry bequeathed to the city. There is simply nothing quite like arriving in Guanajuato for the very first time.
