Students will be staying in double rooms in both Oaxaca and Mexico city. Breakfasts are provided at the hotels, but students should budget a minimum of $700 for other meals. In Oaxaca, students will stay at the Hotel City Centro by Marriott. In Mexico City, students will stay at City Express Plus by Marriott Periferico Sur Tlalpan Hotel. 

All students are responsible for making sure that their necessary travel documents are in order for them to enter Mexico as visitors. Information on the entry requirements for Mexico is available visiting the Global Affairs Canada website.
