This program has been designed for students who wish to improve their listening to and understanding of the Spanish language via the explanations given by the Spanish teachers at each archaeological site.

With each visit, the students learn more about our culture and history via guided visits to archaeological centers which have a lot of culture to offer but which is rarely known due to lack of resources.

SPANISH CLASSES AND GUIDED VISITS

To take part in the guided visits, you need to have a minimum of 2 weeks of Spanish classes of 4 hours a day in our school. This minimum was established because we consider these lessons not only teach the students enough to communicate and understand Spanish at a basic level (especially for beginners), but also prepare them for the third week of practice which will be further developed by the guided visits.
Each visit enables the student to practice Spanish vocabulary, pronunciation and comprehension. They can also develop their communication skills by asking the teacher/guide questions about the archaeological centre.

Each visit lasts for 4 hours a day during the last week (from Monday to Friday) of the program.

The guided visits are led by Spanish teachers who have guiding training as well as their professional skills.

INKA CULTURE – ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES VISITED

The archaeological sites visited have been grouped into two routes:

• The Northern Cusco circuit
  
• The Southern Cusco circuit

These circuits aren’t part of the tourist route that agencies normally offer. We’ve chosen these circuits to offer more choice to or students and to broaden their knowledge of our culture.

Our archaeological sites are no more than 30 minutes in bus from Cusco and the scenery you can see on these trips is beautiful.

In choosing our archaeological sites, we considered two important points:

• They are new Inkan archaeological groups, and they are excelently preserved.
• They receive fewer tourists and are actually less explored and photographed because of their lack of marketing.

The program includes:

• 2 weeks of regular Spanish classes (that is private or group classes held in the school)
• 1 week of guided visits to the different archaeological sites with the teachers.
• Transport to the archaeological sites.
• Accommodation for 3 weeks in the Residencia or with a local family.
• Information about the last week’s itinerary of visits to the archaeological sites.
• Snacks for each day of visits.
• Not included: entry fee
