Language Programs in Cusco, Peru
On your way to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley you’ll pass through Cusco. And while snaps of colorful baby llamas are fun, don’t get fooled into thinking that’s all this two-mile-high city has to offer. Between the Spanish colonial architecture and the hulking stonework of the Incas, you’ll find a perfect spot for breathing in so much more than just thin air. Why not take your acclimation to the next level and do some language learning abroad in Cusco?

A Guide to Language Study Abroad in Cusco
Why Study A Language Abroad in Cusco?
The first step in your exploration of Cusco language schools is deciding which language you want to speak. Language courses in Cusco most often offer courses in Spanish, the official language spoken throughout Peru. Other intensive language programs in Cusco offer courses in Quechua, the language of the Incas, which shares co-official status and is spoken by about 25% of contemporary Peruvians, particularly in the Andean highlands that surround the region.
Take a hike! Many visitors to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley (this author included) leave wishing they’d had more time to explore the region’s pueblos, ruins, and natural wonders. Your extended stay to learn languages in Cusco offers extra weekends to take it slow, explore respectfully, and eat more kinwa. Don’t miss Ollantaytambo and the salt mines at Maras.
