School in Cusco,Peru
Learn Spanish in Cusco!
The capital of the Inca Culture.
Cusco is located in the heart of the Peruvian
Andes.
Cusco is one of the most important cities in Peru with
around 400.000 people.
It is the capital of the Inca empire and offers many tourist
attractions. The Plaza de Armas is the city center, and
there you will find La Catedral (Cathedral) and the San
Francisco Church. You can also visit the Temple of the
Sun (Coricancha) and the White Christ, a statue of Jesus
towering over the city.
In the area surrounding Cusco are the ruins of the Sacred
Valley, architectural wonders not to be missed. |
 |
The most important attraction is Machu Picchu, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site.
This Inca city can be reached by train and during the
trip you can take in the beautiful Andean landscape. It
can also be reached by hiking the Inca Trail. |

Activities
 |
During the week you can
explore the narrow streets and diverse museums and
witness local cultural events. You can also try
some delicious Peruvian cuisine! On weekends you
can visit the monuments and tourist attractions
around Cusco. In the Sacred Valley lies the city
of Pisaq and its craft market as well as the ruins
of Chinchero and Ollantaytambo, examples of Incan
urban planning. If you're an adventurous nature
lover, you can take a trip to Manu National Park
or Pongo de Mainique in the jungle.
Tip: Before you go to Machu Picchu, you should stay
in and around Cusco for a few days. Being that both
Cusco and Machu Picchu are at very high altitudes,
your body will need some time to adjust. One remedy
is to drink coca tea, a local drink. |
Student Testimonials

The 3 weeks I spent in Peru were very nice
and exciting. Besides good food, Peru offers beautiful
scenery and an interesting culture. The Inca temple
and other works in Cusco and its surroundings, like
Machu Picchu or the Sacred Valley, are impressive.
I recommend that everyone travel to Peru.
For me it was an incredible experience…

Cusco was the second
ECELA school I attended in South America. I learned
more Spanish there then anywhere else. I absolutely
loved my time there. Cusco is a perfect sized city
which is very touristic, but still retains a lot
of it's cultural heritage and charm.
Both the student house and the school were in a
great area and very close to the Plaza de Armas.
The staff in Cusco was so friendly and helpful.
Everyday there was something fun planned, from horseback
riding in the nearby ruins, to shopping at the local
markets. At night I felt comfortable going out with
the group, and the places we went to were very nice.
One night there was even a live band that I loved.
I also went to Machu Picchu, and even though I didn't
go with the school, they were so very helpful in
helping me plan my trip. I highly
recommend doing the entire Inca Trail as there are
many impressive ruins |
along the way. But ending at Machu Picchu
was the best. My only regret is that I wish I could've
had more time there!
