   Chichen Itza Full Day Excursion ($195.00 CAD) August program ONLY

The ancient Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza are Mexico’s most famous archaeological site. It is the best example of the Mayan Civilization and is an essential element in understanding the culture. Located in the Yucatan, Chichen Itza offers a well preserved and dramatic example of a Mayan City which is both beautiful and easily understood. A visit here compliments the local sites in Cozumel.

Our full day excursion starts with a boat trip from Cozumel to the mainland and a coach trip of about 2 hours to Chichen Itza. We will have lunch at the site and have a private tour that will bring it alive. Castillo de Kukulkan, which means the Castle of Kukulkan, the feathered Serpent God, is probably the most recognized pyramid in the world. Incredibly, this pyramid has four stairways each with 91 steps plus one step at the top which is common to all four sides for a total of exactly 365 steps - the exact number of days in a solar year.

On the return trip, we will stop at one of the Mayan Riviera’s famed cenotes (sinkhole) for a fresh water swim beneath waterfalls and vines before boarding our boat and returning to our island home on Cozumel.

Price: $195.00 CAD August program ONLY

   Tulum & Playa del Carmen Full Day Excursion ($110.00 CAD)

Our full day excursion begins early with a ferry ride from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen. From there we board a coach and drive to the famous Mayan ruins of Tulum.

Tulum, meaning fence or wall, is the only walled city on the Caribbean. It was built by the Mayans and has a very dramatic location because it is built on a cliffside overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Its Temple of Frescoes and beautiful wall paintings makes it one of the most visited historic sites in Mexico.

After our tour we will have a chance to swim and relax on the beautiful white sandy beach.

We will then drive back to Playa del Carmen and enjoy a free afternoon for lunch, shopping and exploring this beach side city. There are many shops along 5th Avenue (Quinto Avenida) offering many items to take home as souvenirs.

From here we will board the ferry and return to Cozumel in time for dinner at the hotel.

Price: $110.00 CAD

Afterwards you can relax and snorkel with the dolphins as they do flips and turns around you. This once in a lifetime opportunity is not to be missed.

   The Community Program

We are spending our summer in one of the most beautiful and pristine ecosystems in the Americas but we are also living in a community where people and places are in need of help. Under the direction and supervision of our staff, students will have opportunities to contribute and aid our host community. Past years’ community service projects have included teaching local children, painting a school and surveying a reef to establish the environmental impact of cruise ships coming to Cozumel.

The hours you accumulate on this program can be used towards the 40 hours required to graduate from secondary school. The main reward of this program will be your sense of contact with the community and the pleasure of giving back.

Price: $95.00 CAD
