The Instituto Miguel de Cervantes in Guanajuato, founded in 1981, provides intensive language study and a practical language-immersion experience for individuals and groups. At the Institute, you will benefit from small classes, individualized instruction, and our proven teaching methods. In addition, you can learn about Mexican history, literature, latin dance and art. Optionally, if you are interested, we can also offer Mexican cooking upon request.

We also offer basic language programs for larger groups, as well as specialized programs for professionals (Spanish for Teachers in Bilingual ESL Classrooms, Spanish for Medical Personnel, Spanish for Social Workers, Lawyers etc.).

The Institute is located in the shadow of the historic Valenciana Mine (still operating), one of the greatest silver mines in all of colonial Latin America. Our physical facilities are unmatched in Guanajuato, offering spectacular views of the city, airy classrooms with natural light, tranquil flower gardens, meandering walkways with fountains and natural benches, and numerous nooks and crannies for contemplation or group discussion (in Spanish, of course). Some courses can also be delivered downtown.
