Language Schools in Cusco, Peru

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.

I’ve been studying Spanish online with Maximo Nivel for about four months and I’m very happy with the experience. My teachers, first Alejandra and now Rodolfo, have been excellent—patient, supportive, and great at tailoring each lesson to my level and interests. I’ve noticed real progress in my speaking and confidence. The conversations are always engaging, and I enjoy learning not just the language but also about their country and culture. Scheduling and rescheduling classes is easy with their “virtual office,” which is always available and makes the logistics simple. Highly recommended!
