Good Learning experience
January 24, 2026by: Peggy Langdon - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
The instruction was excellent, the staff all friendly and helpful, the facilites clean and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Good coffee, snacks and beverages were available. Everything is nearby… the bank, cafes, and restaurants. It was a very good experience.
I absolutely loved my time here (I know it sounds cliche but it´s true)
January 24, 2026by: Prateek Mohan - United StatesProgram: Intern Abroad in Latin America | Top-Rated Internships
When I got here, I was pretty nervous about the internship. I had never stayed away from home in Texas for more than 5 days and now I was going to stay over 2400 miles away from home in a different continent for a whole month. However, all my nervousness disappeared when I sat through the orientation with Mr. Lucas. He described everything in a manner that calmed my nerves and introduced me to the amazing staff as well. Mr. Aarons and Mrs. McMullen checked in on me while I was at my internship to make sure everything was running smoothly and answered any and all questions I had. I highly recommend Maximo Nivel Peru, and as long as you're in the hands of the fine lady and gentlemen I have mentioned above, you will love your experience as much I have!
Epic and Rewarding
January 24, 2026by: Stephen Henning - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
Helped construct a school for children in impoverished neighborhood (Puerto Rico)up in the hills of Cuzco. It was very challenging physically, but incredibly rewarding to see the facilities taking shape, and even being used real-time by the children in the afternoons/evenings. Cuzco is a fascinating, and walkable, city. I stayed with a host family near the airport and walked to and from Maximo Nivel once or twice per day, 1.5 miles (2.5 km) one way. The construction site was a 30 min bus ride from MN. Bring water and snacks, though there are a few small markets nearby.

After teaching English in Italy in 2016, I realized that I wanted to take this career path more seriously and invest in my education with a TEFL certification. I want to teach in a country that is different than America, where I can genuinely make a difference and help children to have more opportunities in their lives by speaking English and having me as their teacher.

By volunteering with Maximo Nivel, I was able to volunteer and be immersed in the culture of the city I helped in. Traveling has always been a passion of mine, and this program allowed me to travel the world in an aspect most tourists never get to experience!
