Free Salsa LessonsSalsa is not only an important and well-known part of the Latin American culture, the dance is also becoming more and more popular in other parts of the world, particularly in North America and Europe.
We organize Salsa a free lesson for our students just about every week in cooperation with a Salsa school here in Antigua Guatemala. The lessons take about an hour and are given by a professional and experienced Salsa teacher.
Classes on the BeachThe beach in Monterrico on Guatemala’s Pacific coast is one of the country’s most popular beaches. Black or dark gray volcanic sand distinguishes it from the typical white-sand Caribbean beaches.
If you’re getting bored with always having your Spanish classes in the school, take a trip to Monterrico and have them right on the beach! Of course, you’ll also have time to swim in the Pacific Ocean and work on your tan.
Guatemalan cuisine is much more than rice, beans and tortillas! Many tasty dishes are eaten year round, others are reserved for special occasions.
Some of Guatemala’s typical dishes are fairly easy to cook and we show you how to do it! Afterwards we all get together and have a delicious, typical Guatemalan lunch!
Many attractions in the center of Antigua Guatemala are within easy walking distance, but there are others on the outskirts of town that visitors often miss.
A bike or motorbike tour of Antigua’s outlying areas and neighboring villages will lead you to many fascinating monuments and ruins.
The Guatemalan cuisine knows many tasty and nutritious dishes beyond the proverbial beans, rice, and tortillas.
Sometimes we all get together to have breakfast or lunch at the school. It’s a great opportunity not only to try a new dish but also to chat with fellow students, teachers and the Ixchel team.
The Mayan culture is still very much alive in Guatemala. Maximon, a unique mix of a Mayan idol and a Christian saint, plays an important role in the daily life of Guatemala’s indigenous population.
Visit the temple of Maximon in San Andres Itzapa and watch an authentic Mayan ceremony – or even ask Maximon for a favor yourself!
Cerro de la Cruz (The Hill of the Cross) is a small hill just north of Antigua from where you’ll have a magnificent view of Antigua and the surrounding mountains and volcanoes.
It is an easy walk and there are stairs to help you get up the last part of the hill where it gets a bit steep. Don’t forget to bring your camera!
Tortillas are an essential part of just about every meal in Guatemala. Easy to make, tasty and nutrious, they have become popular outside of Latin America too.
Have you ever wondered how they are made? We show you how to do it – from a heap of corn flour to a tasty tortilla in three easy steps!
You can’t study Spanish all the time! Every now and then you need to take a break to socialize and have a good time!
Occasionally we organize welcome and farewell parties, particularly for groups. We also like to celebrate important international holidays, like the 4th of July, so you feel a little bit more at home.
