| The Spanish language school offers
the exceptional opportunity to follow the Spanish Program at three
different locations, each highlighting a different aspect of Peruvian
culture: the beautiful city of Cusco, the rainforest of Manu and
the picturesque village of Urubamba, in the Sacred Valley of the
Incas. Due to the lower altitude (2800 meters) the climate here
is warmer than in Cusco. Here you can explore Peru as it is and
feel like you are truly immersed in the culture.
Please note
that additional info (prices, activities, etc) are found to the
right of this pages. 
Spanish in Urubamba
 The
Urubamba Spanish Program maintains the high level of instruction,
since all Spanish language teachers rotate between the locations.
In Urubamba, the teachers live with the students in the residence,
offering the students many opportunities to practice Spanish.
The lessons will take place in either the morning or in the late
afternoon, allowing time for the multitude of opportunities for
exploring the Valley, either walking, cycling or horseback riding.
In addition to the two guided hikes during the week in Urubamba
which are included in the program, there are many walks for the
independent adventurer.
School in Urubamba
 The
current school building is divided into a sleeping and a study/teaching
area and has a lovely, sunny garden with fruit trees. The building
is outside Urubamba, surrounded by snow peaked mountains and typical
houses. There is a large common room with a fireplace.
Participants in our Urubamba program have spoken
so highly of this location that we strongly recommend all students
follow part of their program in Urubamba. The Urubamba program
gives endless opportunities to combine excursions with the Spanish
program and students enjoy the tranquility and the intimacy of
traditional Peruvian life, away from the hassles of the tourism
center of Cusco.
Practical information on
the Urubamba location
 Urubamba
is a small, quiet town in the Sacred Valley, about 80 km from
Cusco (an hour bus drive). Accommodation is provided in double
or triple bedrooms with communal toilets (6 nights). The Spanish
language school will arrange transport for teachers and students
from Cusco to Urubamba every Sunday; the program runs till Saturday.
Breakfast and lunch are included in the program as well as student
activities and excursions/walks.
You have to make arrangements for this excursion
once you are at the Spanish school in Cusco.
