Fertur Peru Travel, in partnership with El Sol, one of Peru’s leading language schools, now offers an exciting Spanish language immersion program in Lima with home stays with local families.
This program provides for our clients a holistic cultural experience and a perfect introduction to Peru. It is a one- week package that combines an intensive Spanish language course with lectures and excursions covering Peruvian history, literature, archaeology and cuisine.
The 20-hour intensive Spanish language program is designed for groups, but can also accommodate FITs. A program coordinator will work with clients to design the exact composition of the course to match their interests or requirements.
This is the perfect introduction for travelers seeking to enhance their experience and understanding before heading with us to Cusco and Machu Picchu, or any other personal or professional journey in Peru.
If your plan is to continue on for a week of weaving courses and horseback riding in Cusco’s Sacred Valley, the language course will focus on vocabulary suited to those activities. If you are coming to Peru to participate in a community volunteer program in the Andean highlands, Peru’s northern coast or Amazon jungle, your course can similarly be customized.
The program also offers accommodations with Peruvian families, providing the opportunity to practice newly learned language skills in a natural context while offering first-hand experience of the cultural and social life of Peru. All of our home stay families live within 20 minutes of the school.
Clients can choose from one or more of the options on this list (Each activity has an additional cost of approximately $12 per person and is subject to availability):

Spanish Course and Home Stay Lodging
The intensive course starts each Monday. The student needs to take an exam to determine his/her Spanish language level. This test may be sent to your e-mail or otherwise will be administered the same day the course starts at 8 a.m.
The language school requires a minimum of 2 students to open a group. If a group is not available for a client’s level, then that individual will receive 14 class hours of private instruction.
Home Stays
A week's stay consists of 6 nights and 7 days. The client must leave the host family accommodations before noon on the last day.
The host family is required to provide two meals per day for the client.
All home stay households have free Internet available for the client; 95% of home stay households have wireless Internet service installed, and the rest have a network cable connection. Host families will provide keys to the entrance doors of the house or apartment, as well as a key to the client’s bedroom.
