PERU
Learning Spanish in Cusco!

Cusco is also known as “the city of miracles” or historic capital of the Inca empire. Due to its natural attractions, it is the most visited city of Peru. Cusco is located in the southeast of the Peruvian Andean mountain range and counts approximately 1,2 million inhabitants. The famous archaeological site Machu Picchu (“Old Mountain”), which was once inhabited by the Incas, is one of the new Seven Wonders of the World and just one in many treasures of the surroundings of Cusco. The Sacred Valley of Urubamba, a mysterious valley where you can find ancient Inca ruins as well, represents some of the most charming country sides of Peru and should definitely be part of your visit.

Amazing traditions like celebrating the most important festival of the year, the Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun), which is still celebrated in the month of June, is a very important event for all Peruvians to remember the Incan culture and tradition. You can enjoy this festival with colorful and traditional music and dances.

If you want to know more about the Peruvian history, their amazing traditions, the extravagant ancient architecture and the unique country sides, our partner school in Cusco will be the perfect place for you to study at!
