Home Stays

An excellent way to deepen your Spanish Language skills and to learn many aspects of Oaxacan life that may be inaccessible to those staying in hotels. Living with a family while you are in Oaxaca is also much less expensive than staying than staying in a hotel.

While we put together a list of potential host families, we invite you to search on your own using web resources such as:

  • Instituto Cultural de Oaxaca ICO offers instensive Spanish language classes – some as brief as one week in duration – that you may consider enrolling in either before or after the Institute.
  • Homestay Finder – I don’t know anything particular about this resource other than that I found two listings in Oaxaca on the day I checked (JM).
