Mexico Congreso

Every summer LEX holds an exchange and Congreso in Mexico at a World Heritage site or other famous tourist area. Experience the warm hospitality of Mexico on a LEX homestay. Live with a LEX family in Mexico City and enjoy daily life together as you share languages, cultures, and laughter while creating a life long friendship. Experience Mexico from inside the heart of your host family.
​
After the homestay, we travel by bus with other LEX members to a World Heritage City. For two nights and three days enjoy cultural experiences such as visiting World Heritage Sites,  Archeological Zones, and Mexican pottery workshops, In the evenings, get together for LEX activities and a cultural night.  At every meal table or activity, we meet new friends from Mexico, Japan, and other countries and expand our friendships in many languages.  

"When members come together our differences disappear."
