Spanish on Location - Sacred Valley

AMAUTA Spanish School offers the exceptional opportunity to follow the Spanish Program at three different locations, each highlighting a different aspect of Peruvian culture: the beautiful city of Cusco, the rainforest of Manu and the picturesque village of Pisaq, at 15 minutes walking from the main square and the market, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Due to the lower altitude (2800 meters) the climate here is warmer than in Cusco. Here you can explore Peru as it is and feel like you are truly immersed in the culture.

The Sacred Valley Spanish Program maintains the high level of instruction, since all AMAUTA teachers rotate between the locations. In AMAUTA Pisac, the teachers live with the students in the residence, offerin the students many opportunities to practice Spanish. The lessons will take place in either the morning or in the late afternoon, allowing time for the multitude of opportunities for exploring the Valley, either walking, cycling or horseback riding. In addition to the two guided hikes during the week in the Sacred Valley which are included in the program, there are many walks for the independent adventurer.

  

The AMAUTA school building is divided into a sleeping and a study/teaching area and has a lovely, sunny garden with fruit trees. The building is in Pisac, a small village close to Pisac, surrounded by snow peaked mountains and tipical houses. There is a large common room with a fireplace.

  
AMAUTA recommends:

Participants in our Sacred Valley program have spoken so highly of this location that we strongly recommend all students follow part of their program in the Sacred Valley. The Sacred Valley program gives endless opportunities to combine excursions with the Spanish program and students enjoy the tranquillity and the intimacy of traditional Peruvian life, away from the hassles of the tourism centre of Cusco.

Pisac is a small, quiet village in the Sacred Valley, about 40 km from Cusco (a 40 minute bus drive). Accommodation is provided in spacious single, double or triple bedrooms with private toilets and showers with hot water. AMAUTA will arrange transport for teachers and students from Cusco to Pisac  every Sunday; the program runs till Saturday. All meals are included in the program as well as student activities and excursions/walks.
