You can choose between three packages: Peruvian Homestay, Peruvian Homestay Plus, or a student residence

The Peruvian Homestay option has been developed particularly for those who wish to make a cultural journey with the aim of not only learning the language but also learning about Peru through immersion into a Peruvian family. The host families are carefully chosen and monitored through regular inspections and student feedback. Every student is asked to report to the school regarding their accommodation experience by way of questionnaire. The families belong to the middle-class and most live about 25—35 minutes walking distance from the school. If this is not the case for you, there is public transportation available for only $0.15 and taxis cost $0.65.

You will always have your own private bedroom with a lock and you will share the living room, kitchen, bathroom and if available, courtyard or garden, with the family and any other students that may be lodging there as well. The school prefers to place one student in each family, although this may not always be possible. Nevertheless, if this is the case, we guarantee you no more then three other students per host family. All families have a television, radio, and telephone for incoming calls only.

The Peruvian Homestay Plus package offers students a slightly higher comfort level, in terms of the room being a larger size, the food being more adapted to your wishes, and a courtyard or garden. This package is especially suited for couples who wish to study together and also for those who wish to be a away from the bustling city center. We also recommend this option for older people as well. The host family provides three meals a day; breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Generally, times of meals are flexible; you may make other arrangements for meals if you wish. Special diets may be catered to for those who are vegetarian or diabetic, for example.

Unterkunft in a student residence with breakfast included. This option is great for those who like to be close to the school and who enjoy contact with other students from different parts of the world. There are double and single rooms, shared toilets, a terrace, and a common kitchen and living room. Being that the school is only a three minute walk away, you won’t lose time or money having to go back and forth. Meals are provided on a half board basis, so you will receive both breakfast and a 3 course lunch. A cook is available who prepares a delicious range of Andean and foreign cuisine.

Upon request, airport pick-up is free if arriving in Cusco. If arriving in Lima there is an airport-pickup package that includes an overnight stay in a hotel and a one-way flight to Cusco the following day.
