A flexible way to learn Spanish in Cusco — lessons built around your schedule, your goals, and your pace.
Learn Spanish in Cusco with experienced native Peruvian teachers through personalized private or small-group lessons. Choose between 10 or 20 hours of Spanish classes per week, adapted to your level, goals, and schedule.
From your first lesson, you'll immerse yourself in the Spanish language and Peruvian culture while developing your communication skills, grammar, and confidence in everyday situations.
Study one-to-one with your own teacher, so every lesson follows your pace and goals, or join a small group of 20 hours per week and learn together with other students.
Whether you prefer a relaxed schedule or a more intensive learning experience, you choose how many hours of Spanish you take each week. All classes last 50 minutes.
Because your timetable is arranged directly with your teacher, the Standard Spanish Course fits comfortably around work, volunteering, or other activities in Cusco.
As a private course, classes can begin on any weekday — at the date that works best for you.
10 or 20 hours of 50-minute private classes, or 20 hours in a small group, per week, scheduled individually with your teacher.
For a complete experience, combine your Spanish course with a stay with a local host family, giving you the opportunity to practice Spanish every day, meet new people, and experience life in Cusco.

"Going to the market in the second week and actually greeting people in Quechua was unforgettable. My teacher was patient and clearly proud to share her language and culture with me."
"The Quechua course exceeded all my expectations. It's not just language — it's living history. Combining it with the Spanish course gave me the perfect foundation to keep up."
"I took the one-to-one option so classes could move at my pace. Twenty hours a week sounds like a lot, but between the village visits and the coffee breaks it never felt like a classroom grind."
