Lodging & Arrival Information - Cuzco, Peru

Lodging

Homestays The host family 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 studying about the art, architecture and landscape of Per�, through the experiences, life and customs of a Peruvian family. The host families are carefully chosen and monitored through regular evaluations and student feedback. All families are middle class families, the majority of which live within walking distance from the school. The student will always have his/her own private room and will share the living room, kitchen and bathroom with the family. Also, the host families provide 3 meals a day: breakfast, main dinner meal and supper. Special diets may be catered for, eg. vegetarian, diabetes, if advised in advance.

Homestay Plus The Homestay Plus offers students a slightly higher comfort level, in terms of the house and room being of a larger size, the food being more adapted to the students' desires, and a courtyard or garden. Homestay Plus is especially suited for those who want to be away from the bustling city center.
