FAQs

What level of Spanish do I need to participate?

None! Or, you could improve your skills. The local language schools have options for a focus on conversational language or learning areas of your choice. As part of the program, you’ll complete a brief, informal placement exam and have a program orientation upon arrival.

You’ll have access to the school 7 days a week, but many people opt to learn Monday-Friday. At the schools you’ll have comfortable areas to study, community of students, friendly staff, and social activities.

Choose from host families, hotels, or hostels. Host families offer more ways to practice Spanish in practical settings, and offer all meals during your stay. Hosts may be hosting more than one traveler, and there are options of private or shared rooms but you may be sharing a bathroom. Hostels are basic shared accommodation that typically have 6 people to a room. Hotels are 3-star hotels with breakfast included. 

A program representative will meet you at the Cusco (CUZ) airport and accompany you to your host family or lodging. 

Cusco is an incredible city filled with culture, art, local crafts, and powerful history at every turn. Many participants also add a few days after programs to travel to Machu Picchu. With other students and volunteers around and weekly activities either planned or suggested by the program, it’s not difficult to meet new people and find something to do!

Enroll through Máximo Nivel’s booking system and a friendly, knowledgeable program advisor will reach out within 1-2 business days with next steps!
