Pickup times are scheduled for 14:00 and 16:00.

Housing is with local families. These are large houses, many with swimming pools. You will be housed in shared double rooms with private bath. Included in your housing are two meals per day. This consists of a large breakfast in the morning and a full meal in the late afternoon.

An outstanding feature of your program is the quality of the home stays. All vegetables and fruits served are prepared with purified water. Linens, towels, and purified drinking water are also provided. You will be assigned housing within a short distance of the facility where the program is held. Cuernavaca family homes are at a high level of comfort.
