Accommodations

Accommodations

CGEE operates its own guesthouse, Casa Augsburg, a couple hours south of Mexico City in Cuernavaca, Morelos. The guestrooms are dormitory-style, with bunk beds and shared bathrooms. In other locations, groups generally stay in modest hotels or guesthouses.

Accommodations in the countryside will be more basic than those in the major cities. Some programs may include a homestay to introduce you to family life in Mexico. During a homestay, you may not always have access to hot water or standard mattresses. We are confident that this experience will enhance your understanding of the country in a challenging, experiential manner.

Electrical Current

The electrical current is the same as in the U.S. (110 volts, 60 cycles). However, most outlets cannot accommodate a grounding prong or wide flange. If you bring electrical appliances, you will need to bring a two-prong adapter to fit an outlet with two narrow slots.
