"A terrific experience. Welcoming. Good instructors. Well-organized."

Janet Layh, student from Canada

I spent nearly two weeks at Mundo Antigua in private instruction classes. Both my instructors, Roy and Miguel were pleasant, knowledgeable, accommodating and well-prepared for classes.

Upon my request, my classes began with conversation than moved into more of a focus on grammar. I was given homework assignments that were always dealt with the following day.

The activities organized by the school (Friday afternoons) were fun and informative.

Overall, the staff were very welcoming.

I greatly appreciated the Homestay Program offered in conjunction with the school. It was a great experience to stay with a local family.

"Professional, friendly, flexible and responsive"

Bernard Lovegrove, student from Australia

Mundo Antiguo Spanish School is an excellent place to learn Spanish. The teachers are professional, using a range of creative techniques to facilitate learning. All the staff are friendly, efficient and responsive. Through an initial assessment and process of comparison of relative skills in Spanish, they made a great effort to match people of similar levels, ensuring productive learning in classes.

Mundo Antiguo also provide excellent optional after-class activities to encourage further Spanish conversation and interaction with Cusco locals.

The location is great, close to the main plaza and many restaurants and bars. The facilities are adequate, although they could probably do with a third toilet given their numbers. Thanks Mundo Antiguo, we'd love to come again if we get the chance to return to Cusco.

"It was amazing"

Victoria De Crombrugghe, student from France

All in all I liked everything. The location is very good, very close to the historic center so there is a lot to do and to see in the surroundings; this is accompanied by a very good level of teaching with very nice teachers that make the whole experience even better.

The activities organised out of the school are also very nice and it helps to learn more people from the school.

I was also very lucky with my host family that I really liked a lot; they took care of me, I had a nice house, Jackie was amazing and it was nice as well that the family was there a lot.

"A good school with perfect teachers"

Olivier & Anna, student from Germany

Our teachers were good and we learned a lot in only one week. They explained everything, were very friendly... we were happy about our Spanish course BUT there was no room in the school for us. So we had to go every day in a coffee shop (buying coffee) and it was noisy. We would have preferred to do the course in the school.

"Everything was just amazing"

Yuta Kimoto

The size of the classes was small, so I could ask the teachers questions anytime, which made my learning experience more meaningful. I was taught by three different teachers, and they were all kind and cheerful. It was good having different teachers whose approaches and styles of teaching were various, which did not make me bored. Although I attended the classes for only 3 weeks, I could largely improve the Spanish skills in many respects (speaking, reading, listening, writing).

Not only the quality of the classes the school also provides various kinds of fun activities such as trecking, dancing, sports, fruits tasting, etc. You can expose yourself to the Peruvian culture to the full extent by joining these.

The school is located in the center of Cusco, and it is very accessible. I was staying in the host family's house 20 min away from the school by bus. The bus service is operated all around the city with very short intervals so you will not have the inconvenience in terms of transportation.

In regard to housing, my host family was amazing. They treated me as if I were a member of the family. And I could enjoy the traditional Peruvian food every day, every meal.

It was one of the best travels I have ever experienced!

Thank you very much!!!

"We really enjoyed going to Mundo Antiguo."

Eva Bunse, student from Germany

We had classes of 3 students so it was a very intense learning. The teachers could practise with each. We had two different teachers, one the first two hours and one the other half. One teacher was excellent, the other one was good too but couldn't speak english perfectly but we always managed to understand by explaning if one word was missing.
The people who worked there are very motivated and very friendly. They also offer a few activities every week.
And the school ist close to the Plaza de Armas.

"Cusco THE place to be - Mundo Antiguo THE school to learn Spanish"

Dennis Schadt, student from Germany

Family:
Arrived in Cusco, my trip in Perú to improve my Spanish started. On Sunday I met my very nice family, my host mother Clorinda and her sons, where I lived for 4 weeks. After having little problems with the air in the altitude, Clorinda´s breakfast was the perfect start for my first school day on Monday. Her cooking skills were absolutely amazing to learn to know the typical peruan food and there were everyday breakfast / lunch / dinner!!

School:
The small, idyllic and sympathetic school Mundo Antiguo in the center of Cusco gave me a lot to learn in the 4 coming weeks.
Marie and Alberto were my two teachers for the next weeks. With a good kick-off we started our classes in the very good organized school. I had 4 hours classes per day with another person. So it was the perfect combination for me to practice the grammar and new words in 4 intensive school hours everyday and later to use them in the family or by dancing Salsa at nights. My Spanish improved a lot!!

City:
Cusco is located in the mountains. It is a place to be! With all those friendly people and this nice located city and its region around there are so many possibilities to see, to do and to experience. (Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, Secret Valley...)

All in all I would say that if I had more time and more money now, I would do it the same way I did it.
You don't do anything wrong if you are only staying in Cusco. But if you would stay in Cusco and you would learn Spanish in Mundo Antiguo, you make everything right! ;-)


Saludos de Alemania,

Dennis

"A fun atmosphere with a personal approach!"

Maya Lombarts

I had a really fun time at Mundo Antiguo. The owners were really friendly and the group atmosphere among all the students and teachers was awesome. I loved the flexibility of my schedule, I could choose how many hours on which days, mornings or afternoons, and what kind of focus I wanted in my private classes. The office is right next to the Plaza de Armas and every Thursday there's a free activity at the school like cooking classes or salsa classes. I stayed at a host family not so far from the city center, in a nice and quiet neighborhood. It was a nice way to learn more about the Peruvian culture and still make friends from other countries. Right now I'm continuing my classes through Skype, so I would certainly recommend visiting the school to check it out.

A local guest family is the best option if you want to practice your Spanish and get a better understanding of the Peruvian culture. The host families we work with are middle class families. They can give you a good idea of every day life in Peru in a nice and safe environment.

In our guest families you will have your own bedroom and you share the rest of the house with the guest family. So you will live together with the family members, but you have your private room. Mostly, the family won’t speak English or only at a very basic level. So that way you will be ‘forced’ to practice your Spanish! Normally you will eat three times a day with the family. But of course you have the liberty to go wherever you want. It is not an obligation to share every meal with the family.

Do you want to live in a family with or without children? Is smoking a problem for you (not that many people smoke in Peru…), are you allergic, don’t you like pets in your host family, or are you a vegetarian? Let us know your preferences for your guest family stay in Cusco!

Staying in a host family in Cusco is the most popular accommodation option for short and medium term (from a week to about 2 months) stays in Cusco!

Enjoy your stay in Cusco, sharing an apartment with other students from different parts of the world! A shared apartment is really popular as it is an economical way of staying. And as you will stay with other students, fun is almost guaranteed. Many long-lasting international friendships started here!

We have apartments in Cusco in a tranquil neighborhood not far from the city center of Cusco and the Spanish school. The apartments are completely furnished. The living room has cable-TV, DVD and a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen (refrigerator, stove with oven, microwave, etc). So this is a good option for people that like to cook their own meals.

You will share the apartment with some fellow students. But of course you will always have your own private bedroom. Staying in an apartment is the most popular accommodation option in Cusco for mid and long term stays!
