DAY ONE – Arrival Granada Homestay 7 Nights
Granada is a picturesque colonial city that was founded in 1524 by Captain Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba. Granada is situated next to the Mombacho volcano and sits on the shores of Lake Cocibolca, with over 300 isletas. But without a doubt, its greatest treasures are its people, customs and culture. Interact’s foreign representative will meet you in the airport lobby. Transfer to Granada, where you’ll meet the Homestay Director as you’re introduced to your host families.
MIDDLE CLASS HOST FAMILIES are usually relatives, neighbors, or lifelong friends of our homestay directors. Regardless, directors monitor and continually evaluate host families. Host families provide all meals - except those incorporated in the touring. Everyone speaks Spanish in the home. Students normally share with one other group member of the same general language ability.
