Language
Choose a Language
Studying a language in Peru is immersive, meaningful, and deeply cultural. Whether you're learning Spanish or improving your English in a new setting, each option offers benefits for travelers, students, and professionals.
Spanish

The home stay was great, felt very welcome always and the food was great.

Great experience overall, and i would recommend to anyone that wants to learn a new language.
3 Month Intensive Spanish Immersion - Best Choice Ive Ever Made
August 01, 2026by: Wyatt Ortale - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
During my stay here, the teachers and organization were exceptionally professional and constantly checked in on me to ensure everything was up to standard. The curriculum was professionally curated, and as a student I was allowed to ask to hone in on certain aspects if I had any confusion. If youre considering studying here, I would recommend taking private classes, as it ensures progression will match your own pace. Overall, 5 stars across the board :)
I loved it!
July 25, 2026by: Sarah Pankratz - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
I had such a great time in Antigua. My host family was amazing. They were so kind and all the food was so good. My teachers were excellent as well. I learned so much and they were so kind. The travel Guiness program was great too. I had so much fun traveling to Lake Aticlan and going to the beach.
A worthwhile investment!
July 25, 2026by: Kerry Baumann - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
My Spanish teachers at Maximo were very knowledgable about the Spanish language and consistently provided me with feedback and explanations that helped me improve my Spanish very quickly! My classes had a good balance of authentic conversation and grammar, and it was clear that my teachers had put a lot of thought into the sequence and pacing of the lessons.
Getting to know local language and culture

I've been learning a lot about the Guatemalan culture while volunteering in a local school and wandering on the streets of Antigua. I've learnt Spanish very quickly thanks to my fantastic teacher Francisco who is a marvellous language teacher.
Best way to learn spanish
July 18, 2026by: Jasmin Fasel - SwitzerlandProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
I really enjoyed my time here; Maximo offers everything you need and more – the pool in particular was brilliant, and you could always get free water. The host family were very friendly and the food was delicious and varied. It didn’t have air conditioning, but that wasn’t a problem. My teacher was brilliant; I learnt a great deal in two weeks through lots of conversation. Also the staff is very helful with everything. I really loved it here:))

Learned so much!
July 18, 2026by: Julia Poorvu - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
I learned so much in this program and had the best teachers. Odilia and Aracely were so attentive and knowledgeable. Admin was so great too! Antigua is a beautiful and fun city with so much to do. Thank you for everything.
good, useful experience!
July 17, 2026by: Walter Thomas - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
In my case, Maximo Nivel is most ideal for those looking to improve their Spanish through an all encompassing immersion. I would suggest taking advantage of the free salsa and cooking classes, along with the tandem conversation opportunities.
Fantastic school!
July 04, 2026by: Theodore Heath - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
Great instruction and they were very helpful for activities outside of the classroom as well. We can’t wait to come back. They were so helpful. We did many tours, the zip line the night jungle hike, which was excellent as as well as visiting the national Park Manuel Antonio.


I had a great time!
June 20, 2026by: Dalia Zitoun - IsraelProgram: Work, Study, Travel! Explore Latin America with Maximo Nivel
I came to Peru 2 months ago for trekking but i felt like i could not get a complete experience without learning spanish. I came back to cusco and sighned up to Maximo Nivel. the apliccation was very easy and the costumer help was very eficiente as well [i sighned up and started the next day]. i loved the teacher and the fact that we study grammer but practice speaking too with the group. the only thing that i think you should consider is that in my claas, i had students that took spanish allready in an other MAXIMO NIVEL school and were very advanced [finished the book already], that made me question multiple times if i am placed at the right level. other than that, the explications of the teacher were clear and i felt like i understoud the homeworks after class. overall, had an amazing experience and i will continue studying spanish in my country!.

June 19, 2026by: Maaike Mineur - NetherlandsProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
I really liked the language classes with Maximo Nivel!! The teachers were really professional and capable, but also fun and teach you in a fun way. The loction of the school is in the middle of the center of the city which also is really nice. They organise (free) activities so you can easily meet new people. I would for sure recommend this school!

May 30, 2026by: Andreas Roland Ludwig - GermanyProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
Really enjoyed the program at Maximo Nivel. I took Spanish lessons for two weeks, which was a great way to improve - especially conversation and comprehension. The teachers were professional, patient and helpful and it was always fun to attend classes and Ive learned a lot during those two weeks. The extracurricular activities like cooking classes and salsa lessons were also nice. Would definitely recommend to take Spanish at Maximo Nivel.

I had a wonderful experience with my private teacher who tailored the lesson to my favour and my level. The service was extraordinary (from e-mail communication to check out). It was nice that all activities were included and teachers were flexible. Would come back !!!
Such an amazing experience!
May 16, 2026by: Caitlyn Hart - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
The people at Maximo Nivel definitely make the experience worth it. From arrival to departure they make sure that you are taken care of every step of the way! Quepos is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the Costa Rican culture. There are beaches, jungles, restaurants, and shops all in proximity to one another. You will never run out of things to do!
Adored my time in Quepos
May 09, 2026by: Natalie Vivanco - Costa RicaProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
Quepos is such a beautiful town to get to know- easy to navigate while containing many things to do. The staff at Maximo in Manuel Antonio are incredibly friendly and the beach and wildlife are gorgeous. The teachers are patient and wildly interesting to converse with.
It was an amazing experience.
May 08, 2026by: M. B. - GermanyProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
Can´t recommend Maximo Nivel enough. Great language school that goes out of their way to make sure, students have what they need. Teachers do an excellent job and the student to teacher ratio is great as well. Thanks and hope to to see you again.
I had an absolutely amazin time!
April 17, 2026by: Zachary Legge - United KingdomProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
Over the course of my 2 weeks Spanish immersion program I progressed from being a beginner to being able to have conversations with lots of locals around Maximo Nivel. My teachers were amazing and I have to thank especially Pamela who used what we learnt constantly in conversations about home life and other things which massively boosted my confidence in Spanish as well as quickly expanding my vocabulary.
