The month I spent at ECELA-Cusco was absolutely fantastic. The professors are great: they make learning Spanish fun, help you to practice it in the real world by going on outings to local markets and restaurants, and are always willing to help you practice or correct your writing in the afternoons. In addition, the small size of the Cusco school ensures that your classes are tiny, which allows your instructors to really tailor their teaching to what you want to know, and gives you loads of time to practice speaking in class. As if this wasn’t enough, Cusco is a wonderful city in which to spend a month—markets galore, delicious cuisine, lots of hiking and other adventurous outdoor daytrips, ruins and museums aplenty, great nightlife, and, of course, the world-famous Machu Picchu. I will never forget my time there, and, for the traveler who wants to get to know a place deeply and learn a little Spanish while doing it, I cannot recommend ECELA-Cusco highly enough.
