Excursions & Activities

Excursions related to this course include multiple site visits to local wastewater treatments plants, last year the program visited Dulces Nombres Plant and Urban Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Monterrey drinking water distribution and wastewater collection system which provided insight on Monterrey’s treatment systems. Cultural activities are also scheduled throughout the program! In 2024 the program went to beautiful destinations, such as Fundidora and Paseo Santa Lucia as well as Barrio Antiguo. Cultural group meals and team building activities will also provide community within your cohort!

Get to Know Your Destination

From Lonely Planet:

Beyond Guadalajara’s sprawling suburbs, lonely mountain-top pueblos and lazy lakeshore towns promise an intoxicating picture of old Mexico. Lago de Chapala, just 50km south of Guadalajara, is Mexico’s largest natural lake and offers spectacular scenery, traditional lakeside towns and picturesque pueblos full of retired gringos. 

Study Abroad Advisory of Student Risk

Participation in this UC Davis Study Abroad program requires travel to and extended living in a foreign location(s) abroad. UC Davis Study Abroad endeavors to reduce and mitigate risk wherever possible. However, the environments and risks associated with living in these locations are substantially different than those found during a regular course of study at UC Davis. All participants must download and review the following information prior to departure. Any questions should be directed to the Program Coordinator.
