Living the Full Experience

Living with a Guatemalan family is the best complement for your lessons. You will have the opportunity to practice your Spanish in real situations and enjoy the cultural exchange.
Host families are carefully selected and required to meet specific CSA standards. All are located within 5 to 15 minutes in walking distance. Accommodations available seven days a week with three meals a day (except on Sundays) at a very reasonable price. See our price list.

The Host Family Coordinator constantly evaluates the service provided by the family. If a student does not adapt well to a family, they can arrange to change to another family


All host families participating in our program are middle class, according to Guatemalan standards.

Their homes are usually located within a short walking distance from CSA. The families are carefully selected to insure that our students live in a safe, clean and friendly environment.

Home-Stay With a Guatemalan Family

When students live with a Guatemalan family, they benefit from sharing traditions while practicing Spanish in an environment filled with authentic Guatemalan culture.

Other Places to Stay in Antigua Guatemala

If you are coming with your family , or are coming alone, and do not want to stay with one of our host families or in a local hotel, we can recommend apartments. We personally know several real estate offices that have a large variety of apartments in beautiful Antigua and they can help you. The good thing about a real estate agent is that you do not have to deal directly with the owner of the apartment, they do that for you, and that can save a lot of difficulty.
