Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire, is the gateway to Machu Picchu and Peru's most important cultural city. With colonial buildings set on Inca walls and colourful markets, it welcomes those who want to combine Spanish study with history and adventure.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Cusco. Language schools in Cusco often offer volunteering and culture programs alongside Spanish lessons.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short course combined with travel, 3-6 months for fluent communication and usually 6 months or more for a certificate such as DELE B2.
Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round, and beginner courses usually start on set Mondays. For long stays, visa and residence procedures can take time, so plan a few months ahead.
Your visa type depends on the country and the length of your course. NGGlobal helps you choose the right visa and prepare your documents.
Working as a tourist is prohibited. We recommend that language students plan their budget without relying on income from work, while volunteering programs are a good way to gain unpaid experience.
Homestays and student houses are common in Cusco, and staying near the historic centre makes getting around easier.
Living costs in Cusco are much lower than in Europe and North America, and food, transport and accommodation suit a student budget.
Cusco's historic centre is walkable, taxis are cheap, and tours and trains run to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
At about 3,400 metres, Cusco has sunny days and cold nights. May to September is the dry season and November to March the rainy season. We recommend resting for the first days to adjust to the altitude.
From Turkey you fly to Lima with connecting flights, then take a domestic flight of about 1.5 hours to Cusco.
Cusco does not use daylight saving time, so it is 8 hours behind Turkey all year round. When it is 12:00 in Turkey, it is 04:00 in Cusco.
