Accommodations are included
in your program fees. We strongly recommend that students select
a home-stay with one of our carefully selected Peruvian families,
although, they may also elect to stay in a nearby hotel.
Living
with a Peruvian family is a tremendous opportunity to build your
Spanish skills while making new friends and becoming immersed
in the culture of the country. By talking with and listening to
the family at meals and at other times during the day, students
conversational skills will advance much more rapidly than if they
stayed in a hotel.
Families for the home-stay
program are carefully selected and monitored by Excel so that
our students can really enjoy their time in Cusco. Our host families
are middle-class Peruvian families living in American-style homes
that have hot water at least part of every day. Accommodations
are more comfortable than most people imagine.
Each
student will have his own room with a private bathroom, if requested.
Laundry services are readily available throughout Cusco, although,
these are not included in the home-stay program fee. Guest families
provide three meals a day. Generally, meal times are flexible
and a student can make other arrangements for meals if so desired.
Special diets such as vegetarian may be accommodated if we are
notified in advance.
