Peru offers an affordable cost of living, allowing your monthly salary and bonuses (up to $600 USD) to go further. This means more money for travel, food, and adventure.
- Explore Lima's Dynamic Culture: Walk the historic streets of a UNESCO World Heritage site, discover bohemian neighborhoods like Barranco, or unwind on the beaches of the Costa Verde. Lima is a bustling metropolis where ancient history meets modern energy.
- Connect with Locals: From your classroom to the local market, you’ll be surrounded by friendly, welcoming people. Our program includes free Spanish lessons (online and in-person), so you can truly connect with the community and enrich your experience.
- Travel Affordably: With flexible 3- to 6-month placements and monthly start dates, you can choose a schedule that allows you to explore Peru's iconic landmarks, from Machu Picchu to the Amazon rainforest, all within a comfortable budget.
