The post How the Altitude in Cusco will affect you when you first arrive appeared first on 蜜豆视频 Blog.
]]>It is one of the Frequently Asked Questions from students that have registered for one of our Spanish courses in Peru: how will the altitude in Cusco affect my body?
Will I get soroche, altitude sickness? Will I be bothered by the altitude? Will I be strong enough to live and learn Spanish in Cusco at 3400 meters above sea level? And what should I do to avoid soroche?
Fortunately, we can always confirm that the altitude is hardly ever a problem for our Spanish students*. We recommend resting upon arrival, and take it easy during the first days so your body can adjust to the altitude before starting the Spanish classes in Cusco.
What does really happen in our body, when we arrive at the altitude in Cusco?
With each breath, you inhale a certain amount of oxygen. Your body is accustomed to this respective amount. If you go to a city at a higher elevation like Cusco (2500m or more; the altitude in Cusco is 3400 m above sea level), you will most likely show symptoms of .
Why? In higher elevations, the air pressure is less. This means that although the oxygen percentage in the air stays the same, you will still take in less oxygen with every breath you take because the air is less dense, or 鈥渢hinner鈥�. (This is one of the reasons airplanes are equipped with pressure equalization.)
The term 鈥渁ltitude sickness鈥� implies that there is a cure for it. However, there isn鈥檛. Practically the only cure would be to return to lower levels of altitude. You can, however, treat the individual symptoms.
When you first arrive you may have trouble sleeping, this is because there is less oxygen then you are used to. So you may wake up a couple times a night. If you are struggling with your sleep you can ask your host family for home remedies or ask the doctor at the school. One of the reasons our host families serve breakfast and lunch instead of breakfast and dinner, is because digestion is low at this higher altitude. The locals don鈥檛 eat meals late at night or don鈥檛 dine at all. It would take longer for food to be digested which may be affecting your sleep if you eat later. In Peru, breakfast and lunch are bigger meals compared to the Western world, where people tend to eat bigger meals later in the evening.
Not everyone shows symptoms in the same manner, and not everyone is affected by altitude sickness in the first place.
The most common symptoms of altitude sickness or soroche, as it is called in Peru, you will experience during the first hours or first days in Cusco, are:
In more serious* cases symptoms can include:
*this does not happen very often.
Should you really feel bad and should your symptoms not lessen after 72 hours, you better consult a doctor.
In a very exceptional case, the doctor will recommend getting yourself to a lower altitude, especially if you suffer from lung or heart problems.
Did you know that 蜜豆视频 is happy to count on a in-house medical assistance? There is a doctor available for you, 24 hours a day.
In case you want to travel to a lower altitude, you can think about studying Spanish at our Spanish school in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, or at our Spanish School in Lima.
Here are some tips to combat the symptoms of altitude sickness upon arrival in Cusco:
When you take into account those tips, you should feel perfectly fine when starting your Spanish lessons in Peru!
We hope you have a better idea now of how the altitude will affect your body in Cusco.

]]>Also before COVID, (digital) nomad workers travelled the world, living the life of their dreams on sunny beaches and stunning locations. But after COVID, many employers also see that many jobs can be done remote and that an employee with a happy life and a new challenge now and then is a happy employee. Apart, while travelling and living in different countries, people grow and might even learn a new language, like Spanish.
So now that life has more or less returned to “normal” and people have started to travel again, many more see the benefits of working remotely, from home, or anywhere in the world!聽Learn Spanish in Peru as a digital nomad.
So if you are looking for an exciting destination to work and live, think Peru! Peru is beautiful, full of adventure, nature, and culture, has great internet, is affordable, and you can combine your job with a Spanish language course in Peru, a truly unique opportunity to learn Spanish!
or remote worker, you live a location-independent lifestyle. If you are lucky, you can do this too, at least during part of the year! You can travel alone, with your significant other, or even with the whole family, including kids and teens. Even if you don’t have the time for a Spanish language course, it is a great possibility for your partner and kids, to learn Spanish in Peru while you are working.
Peru is known for its lively festivals, bustling cities, impressive Inca ruins (the famous Inca Citadel Machu Picchu, among others), and opportunities for hiking (in the surroundings of Cusco and also in Huar谩z, like the famous ). But Peru is also the most biodiverse countries worldwide. So wherever you will be, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to venture out into the Tambopata, Manu or Iquitos. (reading tip: ).
What is a digital nomad or remote worker?
A remote job is a role that an employee can complete outside of the typical office environment. People can usually complete most of their tasks and projects in a remote position using a computer. In addition, they can communicate with supervisors and other team members via phone, video, or chat messaging systems.
To be able to lead a life as a digital nomad, you need to be able to work location-independently. Many digital nomads run their own (online) companies or work as freelancers or in remote jobs. All you need is the internet to carry out your work location independently, allowing you to live as “nomads” with a flexible way of working and earning money.
The reasons workers want to do their jobs remotely aren’t surprising: better work-life balance (91%), increased productivity/better focus (79%), less stress (78%), and avoiding commuting (78%). A few years ago, Harvard studied what digital nomads earn. The research showed that the average digital nomad makes about 鈧� 1000 per month. While this isn’t very much, you can live well in a city like Cusco!
When considering travelling to Peru to settle down as a digital nomad, there are a few things to consider whether Peru is a good choice for you.
While finding the answers to those questions, you’ll see that Peru gets a pretty good score as a top destination for remote workers or digital nomads!
Yes, you will be able to afford a comfortable living standard: Peru is notably cheaper than many other Latin American countries like, e.g. Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Chile and Argentina. Countries with similar living standards are Bolivia, Ecuador a Guatemala.
In Peru, you will find many places to work and to live! A popular destination for digital nomads is the Peruvian capital city. Lima has a rich cultural life, great co-working spaces and the reputation for being the food capital of Latin America. As a result, the digital community in Lima is growing. But although not expensive compared to other cities in Latin America, Lima is not cheap.
If you are looking for a smaller, cheaper and more authentic place, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Cusco is on top of the list of Poplar Places in Latin America for Digital Nomads. Cusco is very popular with backpackers and digital nomads (and all kinds of travellers), and it is an excellent place to be located. While being a fairly large (spread-out) city with its own airport, the old town, where most tourists go, is relatively compact, especially the popular San Blas neighbourhood (where is located). Cusco is a beautiful town and offers plenty of opportunities to spend in nature (during the weekends).
Other popular places for digital nomads in Peru are Arequipa, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, the coastal town of M谩ncora up in the north, and the Amazon. Arequipa and the Sacred Valley are good options (if you are into typical small villages and nature); however, the internet might be an issue. The same goes for the jungle. Also, there are not many co-working spots, and there is no digital nomad community like in Lima and Cusco.
Reading tip: Living in Cusco like a local: tips for nice cafes, where to go shopping, the best cheap restaurants, and more.
Internet in Cusco
Cusco has a great selection of workplace places, from co-working spaces (e.g. at the hostel Selina; this brand has several locations in Cusco), cafes, and bars. One of the most important things to consider when looking for workplace space is internet speed. Cusco has an average internet speed of 6.2 megabits per second (Mbps), and the global average is 7.2 Mbps.; it depends. Sometimes it can be very slow 鈥� depending on your location 鈥� but it can also be impressively fast. In general, you won’t have any problems with day-to-day tasks such as emailing and surfing the web, but on certain days you might suffer a bit when streaming, downloading or uploading.聽 – Learn Spanish in Peru as a digital nomad-.

]]>Es una de las preguntas frecuentes para los asesores de cursos de 蜜豆视频de estudiantes que se han inscrito en uno de Nuestros cursos de espa帽ol en Per煤: 驴c贸mo afectar谩 a mi cuerpo la altitud en Cusco? 驴Tendr茅 soroche, mal de altura? 驴Me molestar谩 la altitud? 驴Ser茅 lo suficientemente fuerte como para vivir y aprender espa帽ol en Cusco a 3400 metros sobre el nivel del mar? 驴Y qu茅 debo hacer para evitar el soroche? Afortunadamente, siempre podemos confirmar que la altitud casi nunca es un problema para nuestros estudiantes de espa帽ol *. Recomendamos descansar a la llegada y descansar durante los primeros d铆as para que su cuerpo pueda adaptarse a la altitud antes de comenzar las clases de espa帽ol en Cusco.
驴Qu茅 le sucede realmente a nuestro cuerpo cuando llegamos a la altura que tiene Cusco?
Aprender espa帽ol en Cusco: 驴C贸mo afectar谩 la altitud al cuerpo?
Con cada respiraci贸n, inhalas una cierta cantidad de ox铆geno. Tu cuerpo est谩 acostumbrado a esta cantidad respectiva. Si va a una ciudad a una altitud m谩s alta como Cusco (2500m o m谩s; la altitud en Cusco es 3400 m sobre el nivel del mar), lo m谩s probable es que muestres s铆ntomas de .
驴Por qu茅? En elevaciones m谩s altas, la presi贸n del aire es menor. Esto significa que, aunque el porcentaje de ox铆geno en el aire se mantiene igual, a煤n tomar谩s menos ox铆geno con cada respiraci贸n que tomes, porque el aire es menos denso o “m谩s delgado”. (Esta es una de las razones por las que los aviones est谩n equipados con ecualizaci贸n de presi贸n).
El t茅rmino “mal de altura” implica que hay una cura para ello. Sin embargo, no lo hay. Pr谩cticamente la 煤nica cura ser铆a regresar a niveles m谩s bajos de altitud. Sin embargo, se pueden tratar los s铆ntomas individuales.
Cuando llegues por primera vez, es posible que tengas problemas para dormir debido a que hay menos ox铆geno de lo que est谩s acostumbrado. Esto puede hacer que te despiertes algunas veces durante la noche. Si tienes dificultades para dormir, puedes pedirle a tu familia anfitriona remedios caseros o consultar al m茅dico en la escuela. Una de las razones por las que nuestras familias anfitrionas ofrecen desayuno y almuerzo en lugar de desayuno y cena es porque la digesti贸n es m谩s lenta a esta altitud. La gente de Cusco no suele comer tarde en la noche o simplemente no cenan. La digesti贸n de los alimentos llevar铆a m谩s tiempo, lo que podr铆a afectar tu sue帽o si comes m谩s tarde. En Per煤, el desayuno y el almuerzo son comidas m谩s grandes en comparaci贸n con el mundo occidental, donde la gente tiende a comer m谩s tarde en la noche.
En primer lugar, no todos muestran s铆ntomas de la misma manera, y no todos se ven afectados por el mal de altura.
Los s铆ntomas m谩s comunes del mal de altura o soroche, como se le llama en Per煤, que experimentar谩s durante las primeras horas o los primeros d铆as en Cusco, son:
En casos m谩s graves *, los s铆ntomas pueden incluir:
* Esto no pasa muy seguido.
Si realmente te sientes mal y tus s铆ntomas no disminuyen despu茅s de 72 horas, es mejor que consultes a un m茅dico. En un caso muy excepcional, el m茅dico recomendar谩 llegar a una altitud m谩s baja, especialmente si sufres problemas pulmonares o card铆acos. 驴Sab铆as que la escuela de espa帽ol 蜜豆视频se complace en contar con asistencia m茅dica interna? Hay un m茅dico disponible para ti, las 24 horas al d铆a.
En caso de que quieras viajar a una altitud m谩s baja, puedes pensar en estudiar espa帽ol en nuestra Escuela de espa帽ol en el Valle Sagrado de los Incas, cuya altura esta casi 1000 metros m谩s bajo que Cusco.
Aqu铆 hay algunos consejos para combatir los s铆ntomas del mal de altura a su llegada a Cusco:
Cuando tomas en cuenta esos consejos, 隆debes sentirte perfectamente bien al comenzar 隆Tus clases de espa帽ol en Per煤!
Esperamos que ahora tengas una mejor idea de c贸mo la altitud afectar谩 tu cuerpo en Cusco.

]]>The post Spanish Lessons in Peru with fun fieldtrips appeared first on 蜜豆视频 Blog.
]]>One of the things I enjoyed most during my Spanish lessons in Cusco (Peru), are the field trips. Learning Spanish in Peru is a great way to improve your Spanish quickly: during the four hours per day in small groups with my teacher, I spoken more Spanish than I鈥檇 ever done during my Spanish course home.
But the best opportunities to practice Spanish, to learn about Peruvian culture and to explore Cusco, were the field trips organized by AMAUTA. During one of those trips we went to the Qolwanpata Inca Park in Cusco. Here you can read my report of my Spanish lessons in Peru with fun field trips.
Menta, lavanda, kantu, mu帽a, or茅gano. We are walking the gravel path up the terraced slope at Qolqanpata Inca park in Cusco, as our guide pauses before each medicinal plant, describing its flavor and uses, and sharing pinches of leaves so we can sample the aroma.
At the entrance, we were offered a choice of a Spanish or English-speaking guide: we are students at 蜜豆视频 on a field trip, so of course we choose a guided tour in Spanish. Our guide, Jhosset, a student intern majoring in tourism at the University, speaks knowledgeably about each plant. I have reached a point recently in my immersion in Spanish in which I am more and more often no longer aware of what language I am listening to. I am simply understanding what is being said, and, although he speaks at a natural pace for a native speaker, I understand almost all. Needless to say I鈥檓 very happy with this, as a result of the intensive Spanish lessons in Cusco.
We continue past the herbs to the fenced areas where the llama and alpacas seem to be expecting us, staring at us as we approach. Their eyes are like large, dark pools. Our guide senses our excitement. He quickly brings us each a bundle of long grass. Whereas we were quiet and studious listeners moments before as we learned about the herbs, we become giddy and exhilarated as we feed the llamas.
The lovely animals lean toward us eagerly, the long arcs of their necks crossing over the fence. I don鈥檛 know if there is something about the feeding of animals that elicits our delight, or if it is these in particular: llamas are nearly non-existent in North America, where I am from, or in Japan or Europe, where the other students are from.
They are nearly the size of horses, but with implausibly long necks and the enormous eyes of fantasy creatures; their faces are bony like their camel cousins, and they chew like goats, their jaws scissoring back and forth. Watching them chew, it is impossible not to smile.
Our small group of Spanish students now is talking more, laughing more, as we give the last of the grass to the llamas and continue up the hill to the bridge. The bridge, Jhosset explains, is a replica of those typically made by the Incas; it is made of ichu, a kind of straw that grows in the Peruvian Andes. The most famous bridge made of 麓ichu麓, is the it is remade every year according to the inca traditions. The fiber is both strong and supple: stepping onto it feels like stepping onto a very long, very sturdy hammock.
When we reach the textile exhibits, we pause to look at the views of Cusco and surroundings. We can see more of the sky from up here, layered with cumulus clouds, and below, Cusco鈥檚 clay roof tiles seem to merge, looking, at this distance, like a terra cotta crust. Jhosset shows us a typical Peruvian oven, dug into the ground, and describes how potatoes were baked.
We meet a weaver patiently adding one thread at a time to her cloth. The threads are dyed with plants, minerals, and even insects, giving the fibers earthy tones. We meet more animals: conejo, gallina, cabra, oveja, caballo. We are not beginners in Spanish, but walking through gardens, naming and talking about the plants and animals in a Spanish is a nice challenge.
It seems to me that the higher we climb, the more Spanish we speak. Learning new words, subjectively speaking, also accentuates attention and appreciation. We speak fluidly with each other now in Spanish, making mistakes with ease鈥� knowing that is part of the process of learning鈥攁s we pause to take delight in the strut of the roosters, and the alertness of the rabbits.
Further on we see the orchids; a cactus that looks like a sloth, with two long, furry arms; an array of fish swimming in a mossy, subterranean paradise; and lastly, the museums of musical instruments, the collection of Peruvian agricultural tools, and the botanical library.
The Qolwanpata park, as complete as it seems now, is still in the process of growing. The park was opened at the end of 2017 only. The enclosure that now houses orchids will one day house a variety of butterflies, and plans are underway to create a park especially for children. Listening to Jhossett and the other guides speak about the plans, and the park as a whole, I appreciated how the old and the new are both present and honored in this park鈥攈ow established traditions, wisdom and practices are preserved here, with the enthusiasm and energy of a thriving culture.

]]>The post Buenos Aires is a great destination to study Spanish for many different reasons appeared first on 蜜豆视频 Blog.
]]>Of course the main reason is the character and the experiences of the cosmopoliitan city itself. Buenos Aires is 聽one of the most amazing and lively cities of South America, full of culture, temperament, tango, arquitecture and so on. That’s why the Argentine capital is also called “the聽vibrant city that never sleeps”, full聽of museums, cafes, bars and history.
Wander the bustling streets and grand avenues of Buenos Aires 鈥� all just a stone throw from our school building, located in the amazing Barolo Palace downtown Buenos Aires.
Besides that, the friendly people from Buenos Aires have a unique Spanish accent, however, you will be prepared to speak Spanish all over the world. Buenos Aires is a perfect location to live and learn the Spanish language, immersed in the amazing city life of Buenos Aires.
What do our Spanish students say about their Spanish course at 蜜豆视频Buenos Aires? Here are a few testimonials of reviews of our .
Abby鈥檚 story:
I studied Spanish at 蜜豆视频 in buenos Aires for three weeks. Of course this is really short to learn the Spanish language, however, I was so surprised to find at that afer my Spanish course, I could actually speak and understand quite some Spanish! Thanks to the amazing teachers, who spoke Spanish to us the whole time. Of course it is difficult from time to time and very funny, but it works. So here I found myself talking to people in the subte (metro), answering an email in Spanish from a hotel in Cordoba, buying a busticket at the Retiro busstation and even talking about the difference between Holland and Argentina on the plane to Bariloche with the guy next to me on the plan. All in Spanish! Thanks AMAUTA!
Leon鈥檚 story:
I attended both 蜜豆视频buenos Aires and 蜜豆视频Cusco and found that both are great places to learn Spanish in an informal but professional way. There is a laidback atmosphere, where students and teachers easily meet and interact. But at the same time everything is well organized and it all works very well. Both schools – Buenos Aires and Cusco – have a different character but in both cities you will see that the school is much more than just a Spanish school. 蜜豆视频is a place to meet people, it鈥檚 like being part of a family and Buenos Aires is a great destination to聽study Spanish. Highly recommended.
Roberts story:
蜜豆视频聽is an extremely warm and friendly place I would thoroughly recommend. There is a young and friendly team that will make you feel relaxed and at easy. The class size is restricted to eigh which ensures every student a good amount of contact time with the Spanish teachers.
My previous experiences taking Spanish classes had been less succesfull so I鈥檓 very happy now that my Spanish improved greatly. I hope to be back one day at 蜜豆视频Buenos Aires.

]]>Are you looking for a place where to learn Spanish in Peru quickly? If so, I recommend 蜜豆视频! This blog is also for you if you are just curious to learn more about the and you like to get an idea of what those classes are like.
Good vibe
A good vibe, enthusiastic Spanish teachers, small groups, many fun activities, great staff and a great location in Cusco: those are for me the seven main ingredients of the success of 蜜豆视频. This is a school where you feel at home and where you are challenged to improve your Spanish language skills while having fun in a friendly atmosphere.
The Spanish Teachers are great
I participated in the Spanish group course. This course runs for five days a week, four hours per day. That sounds pretty intense but, time flies by! I think one of the main reasons is that you work with two different teachers. Therefore, the way of teaching changes and this gives variety and a new dynamic in the (small) group. There is a 20-minute break between the two classes. During the break, we go to the courtyard, or to the common room. During the first weeks, there were only three other students in my class.
During the second week, I had two new teachers; they continued with our group during the third week. In the end, it doesn鈥檛 matter who your teachers are. All the teachers at 蜜豆视频use the same teaching method and are interested and enthusiastic. They all motivate you to speak and improve your Spanish.
Much Variety during Spanish Class
Wat do you do during the Spanish class? The most important thing is practicing: speaking and listening in Spanish. We also learn grammar, but we mostly learn it from practicing. Of course, there are also short explanations from the teacher. What more? We talk in Spanish; we do roleplay, exercises on paper, we watch videos and listen to songs鈥�.. It is all part of your Spanish class.
The Groups are Small聽
One of the things that helps a lot to improve quickly are the small groups of students. The maximum amount of students in one group is only 6! During my first weeks, there were only three other students in my class! The teachers have plenty of time to pay attention to every student 鈥� even with six in the group – and you get a lot of opportunities to talk Spanish and to practice. This is crucial if you want to improve your Spanish.
Spanish Classes outside the classroom
During at least one of the five days, the teachers organizes an activity out of the classroom such as visiting a museum in Cusco or a historic site, or the local market, or a neighborhood.. else that can be relevant for learning the Spanish language in Peru. This brings variety into the Spanish course, and Cusco is a great and interesting place for this kind of visits. And as 蜜豆视频is in the heart of Cusco everything is very close. I like those outings; it gives me the opportunity to experience Spanish outside of the classroom into the real world. Besides all that is it of course also fascinating to be learning more about the Peruvian culture, here in Cusco.
Free cultural activities at 蜜豆视频Cusco
But the school does not only offer you activities during the . There is an extra-curricular program after lessons. Those activities vary every week. I participated in a Pisco-sour class, in a salsa dance class and different presentations about Peruvian culture. Those activities are also a perfect way to get to know your co-students at the school.
So in short: for me 蜜豆视频is the best Spanish school in Cusco to have fun, to meet many different people and, most important, to learn Spanish in Peru!
