The majestic city of Cusco has it all: art, magic, mystery, history, breathtaking nature, dramatic scenery, ancient cultures – all united in the center or the “belly button” of the world. Remarkable Cusco is a special destination with beautiful streets and squares, awe-inspiring Inca monuments and elegant colonial constructions that are illuminated by a blue sky with white clouds.
Situated at 3.300 meters above sea level, Cusco is surrounded by dramatic mountains and valleys. It has a population of 300,000 inhabitants – most of them indigenous. Therefore, it is a unique place for studying Spanish and living alongside local people. At only a few steps from our Spanish School in Peru, you can find a range of dining options in local restaurants, pubs and trendy cafes, as well as an array of excellent museums, remarkable Inca-built walls, and exquisite colonial churches.
As schools are located only a few minutes’ walk from the historic Plaza de Armas, it is a perfect start point for pleasant walks to soak up the atmosphere in one of Cusco’s old and picturesque neighborhoods. Additionally, Cusco is very well connected and you can travel safely to the most important places of the ancient Inca Empire with ease: the ancient Inca villages in the nearby Sacred Valley, Puno and Lake Titicaca, the Peruvian Amazon, the beautiful colonial city of Arequipa and of course the impressive “Lost City of the Incas”, the ruins of Machu Picchu.
