Mexico Food and Lodging
What are the sleeping accommodations?
For Dolores Hidalgo programs through July 2008 you will spend Saturday night in a very comfortable hotel about 30 minutes from the
Leon airport. For Dolores Hidalgo programs after July 2008 you will be lodged in a similar hotel in
Queretaro for the first night of the program, and then the group will be transferred to Dolores Hidalgo the following day.
All accommodations are double occupancy with optional single supplements. In the host communities, you'll stay at traditional Mexican hotels within walking distance from the center of town and the work sites. The guest rooms have private baths, single beds, dressers and TVs.
What are the laundry arrangements?
Fast, inexpensive laundry services are near the hotels in both host communities.
What is the electrical power?
The electric current in Mexico is the same as in the United States - 110V. You will not need a power converter or adapter.
What is the local cuisine?
The diet in Mexico consists mostly of rice, enchiladas, tacos, tortillas and soups, with some vegetables and fresh fruit, including pineapple, bananas, melon, mangos and papayas.
Can special diets be accommodated?
Strict vegan or vegetarian diets cannot be accommodated at either site. If you have special dietary needs, we suggest that you bring foods to supplement your meals.
Will potable drinking water be provided?
Your team leader will provide bottled water, which can be replenished at the hotel or the University from their supply of purified water.
