Taking Spanish classes in your own country can be a wonderful experience, but upon completing these classes, you can get to know Peru and practice the language, which is even more rewarding. During these past 8 years, thousands of American students have visited our country not only to visit world-renowned tourist attractions but also to experience a short homestay with Cusco families, getting to know our customs and practicing the Spanish language.
Each homestay brings with it new experiences, new tastes, new places, and a new family. Warmth in very few days turns into love, so that when the time to say goodbye comes around, everyone cries tears of sadness as they leave behind these people who have come to occupy a place in their hearts.
Letters to homestay families:
“Thank you for the experience in Cusco. My favorite part was when Gonzalo, Ben, and I rode bicycles in the mountains for 8 hours. I loved the four days that we spent with you. Thank you very much. Your favorite American brother and son.” – Andrew (2015).
“Thank you for all the days we spent with you. I had the best experience of my life. I already want to go back to visit the family! Thank you so much.” – Ben (2015).
