Location
Peru is a country of 24 million inhabitants located in the central and western part of South America. It borders Ecuador and Colombia to the north, Brazil and Bolivia to the east, Chile to the south and the Pacific Ocean along the west coast.

Once the land of gold and of the sun-worshipping Incas, Peru was a treasure trove for Europe, and was once the home of the largest empire in the world. While the riches of the Incas are there to fuel the imagination, the country's real appeal lies in the sheer beauty of its various landscapes, the abundance of its wildlife, and the strong and colorful character of the people. The world's highest navigable lake laps Peruvian shores while some of the world's longest and tallest waves crash onto Peru's beaches.

Peru offers a myriad of opportunities for the adventurous of heart and the inquisitive of mind, from sand surfing to jungle tripping, museum hopping to llama spotting, it is there to be sampled along with the immense desert coastline or the vast tracts of tropical rainforest. Dividing the contrasting environments are chain after chain of breathtaking peaks, the Andes, over seven thousand meters high and sometimes over four hundred kilometers wide.

Situated in the southeast region of Peru at 3400 meters above sea level and surrounded by mountains and valleys, Cusco is known as the cultural heart of the Andes and one of the most fascinating cities in South America. It has over 300,000 inhabitants, most of them indigenous, and has much beauty to offer, including the panorama of the Andes, the famous Inca ruins and is close to the magical town of Machu Picchu. Modern Cusco is a fascinating mix of Inca and Colonial architecture and culture.

Our Spanish language school in Cusco, Peru is located in a modern and well equipped building just one block from the main square, the Plaza de Armas. The student Residence is also incorporated in the building which is only five minutes walking distance from the city center. The Spanish school is equipped with multimedia classrooms, offices, an internet cafe, a spacious meeting room and a beautiful sunny terrace.

Our cultural program provides a great opportunity for students to learn Spanish and traditional Peruvian culture, as well as being a superb complement to the student's Spanish studies.

In our Peruvian music workshop we include several different options: the charango (Peruvian guitar), zampoña (panflute) and quena (flute). To take part in this workshop there is no need to have experience playing an instrument or the ability to read music, as students will quickly learn to play a few well know songs. The music workshops are a "must" for people who are interested in Peruvian folklore or traditional music.

Our Peruvian cooking workshop is designed for people who want to learn more about traditional Peruvian cuisine. One free cooking class is included in the Student Activities, however there's so much more to learn about the endless different kinds of " papas " (potatoes), the traditional " quinua " and the use of native herbs, that we offer additional classes on a regular basis.

We also offer workshops in Peruvian dance and traditional pottery, as well as all kinds of excursions, trips and hikes designed to deepen your knowledge of the local culture and to compliment your Spanish language course.
