SPANISH PROGRAM IN THE SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS
AMAUTA
Spanish School offers the exceptional opportunity to follow the Spanish
Program at three different locations, each highlighting a different
aspect of Peruvian culture: the beautiful city of Cusco, the rainforest
of Manu and the picturesque village of Taray, at 15 minutes walking from Pisac, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Due to the lower altitude (2800 meters) the climate
here is warmer than in Cusco. Here you can explore Peru as it is and
feel like you are truly immersed in the culture. |
SPANISH IN SACRED VALLEY
The Sacred Valley Spanish Program maintains the high level
of instruction, since all AMAUTA teachers rotate between the locations.
In
AMAUTA Taray, the teachers live with the students in the residence, offering
the students many opportunities to practice Spanish. The lessons will
take place in either the morning or in the late afternoon, allowing
time for the multitude of opportunities for exploring the Valley,
either walking, cycling or horseback riding. In addition to the two
guided hikes during the week in the Sacred Valley which are included in the
program, there are many walks for the independent adventurer.

AMAUTA SCHOOL IN THE SACRED VALLEY
The AMAUTA school building is divided into a sleeping and a study/teaching area and has a lovely, sunny garden with fruit trees. The building is in Taray, a small village close to Pisac, surrounded by snow peaked mountains and tipical houses. There is a large common room with a fireplace.

AMAUTA recommends:
Participants in our Sacred Valley program have
spoken so highly of this location that we strongly recommend
all students follow part of their program in the Sacred Valley. The
Sacred Valley program gives endless opportunities to combine
excursions with the Spanish program and students enjoy the
tranquillity and the intimacy of traditional Peruvian life,
away from the hassles of the tourism centre of Cusco.
