While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $108 a day this sits right at the $108 median for craft & artisan. It is cheaper than 9 of the 19 craft & artisan options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Mexico
- 6 other options in Mexico, starting with spanish survival week in Oaxaca from $350.
- When to go
- Workable across 8 months of the year — Oct-May. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 6 days, but the honest range is 3 to 21. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
