There’s Spanish class and then there’s Peruvian Spanish class blended with immersion and service. Trade your flashcards for an experience that is all about experiential learning, adventure and giving back.
No common phrasebook can prepare you for the uncommon Spanish language and service adventure that awaits in the Peruvian Andes. Study this beautiful language in equally beautiful high-altitude surroundings. Spanish is acquired organically as you live and learn amongst locals in idyllic towns. Speak it on the soccer field, on the dance floor, in colorful markets, while volunteering with local children, and everywhere else. Save a few Spanish “oohs” and “ahhs” for the moment you first gaze upon Machu Picchu – the world’s most awe-inspiring archaeological site.
“The hike is challenging but the joy felt when you get to the pass and see the sun rising over Machu Picchu is ineffable!” — Gabriella Kostrzewa, Raleigh, NC
A better school for local children. Improved infrastructure. A cleaner hiking trail. A healthy organic garden. A whole new group of friends. Confidence in a second language. What will you take way from Peru? And more importantly, what will you leave behind?
