Accommodations

There are a number of housing options to choose from. Note that housing costs during the TESOL/TEFL program are separate from tuition. INTESOL PERU is happy to help you arrange a family-stay, hostel, hotel, or private or shared flat during your stay in Cusco.

THE FAMILY HOUSE – BED & BREAKFAST

We are happy to offer our TESOL/TEFL trainees a room at The Family House. These accommodations are similar to a family-stay, but with more independence and privacy. TESOL trainees always get private rooms. Your stay includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner Monday through Sunday. Guests are given a key to their room and to the house and are free to come and go as they please. The house is cared for by 3 Peruvian women, including a professional cook. Laundry services are available for a small extra fee. The Family House is a 20-minute walk or 5-minute taxi ride from Cusco’s Plaza de Armas.
€300 per month

FAMILY-STAY

Family-stays are all with pre-approved families and include three meals per day. All of our host families are middle-class and live in homes and areas that are attractive. All family-stays include a private room and most have private bathrooms as well. Many of the families have been hosting international travellers and students for years. Participants are given a key to the house and are free to come and go as they please, but they must respect the routine of the family they are staying with. Family-stays are typically within a 10 minute taxi ride from the centre of Cusco. Taxis are regulated, and the one-way fare to anywhere in Cusco is only S/.2 ($0.50).

HOSTEL

There are also many inexpensive hostels throughout Cusco and you may elect this option if you want to save money while still remaining 100% independent. INTESOL PERU works with three different hostels, all of them clean and safe with excellent service and amenities including TV rooms, 24-hour kitchens, and more. All hostel accommodations include private rooms with private bath.

PRIVATE FLAT

Our private flats are all modern, very comfortable, and fully furnished. Flats come with equipped kitchens including plates and utensils required to live comfortably and cook for yourself. Most apartments are within walking distance (5-15 minutes) or within a 5-minute taxi ride from the Plaza de Armas and the INTESOL PERU office.

SHARED FLAT

Like our private flats, our shared flats are all modern, comfortable, and fully furnished. Shared Flats all have 2 private bedrooms, though the bath is usually shared. The apartments are fully furnished with equipped kitchens including plates and utensils. Most flats are within walking distance (5-15 minutes) or within a 5-minute taxi ride from the Plaza de Armas and the INTESOL PERU office. If you do not have a roommate, we can arrange one for you.

HOTEL (3-STAR)

Cusco has a great deal to offer in terms of hotels, ranging from 1-star to 5-star accommodations. INTESOL PERU works with two 3-star hotels, both of which are modern and comfortable with all the necessary amenities plus breakfast included. All hotel rooms are private with a private bath. If you desire more luxurious accommodations please request the hotel option when you register.
