Description: Learn Spanish between high Andean peaks, sacred valleys and mystic legends!

Learning the Spanish language in Peru has many advantages such as being close to what are arguably the continent's most fascinating cultural sites, including the new wonder of the world Machu Picchu!

Peru has 28 million inhabitants, one third of them live in the capital Lima. Like Bolivia and Guatemala, Peru is a country where the majority of the population is indigenous. About 40 % of the Peruvians are descendants of the Indigenous Quechua tribe while 5 % belong to the Aymara. Hence, this country is rich in diversity of Indigenous language as well as modern day Spanish.

Come to the land of the Inca and be entranced by this magical country! Enjoy wonderful beaches, impervious jungle, fascinating Peruvian culture and typical Peruvian food!
