Enforex

Friendly teachers, good infrastructure, free dance and cooking lessons once a week, perfect location in the city centre. Cusceños/as also learn English at the school, which creates a very intercultural environment. The school therefore also offers a tandem exchange, which is very useful for practising conversation.

I had a great teacher. All the staff was trying to help with any questions all the time. I felt very comfortable. Also nice that you get free tea and coffee all day. It is just getting a bit too noisy from the classes in the afternoon.
I would definitely book Maximo again!

Varayocs

January 2025As a new year's tradition in Peru, the elders come together to select the candidates for the Varayocs, the supreme authority figures in each community. The ceremony is celebrated with chicha, a traditional beer made of corn, and the Varayocs receive the "vara", a stick or scepter carved of wood, as a sign of their position.

Chiaraje
