Here are some of the student support services we offer to each student in Cusco:
Student Services Help Desk
For all questions on the student end, we have established a Student Services Help Desk. Our bilingual office and Spanish school staff in Cusco is available each business day to address any concerns that may arise and students additionally have a 24-hour emergency contact number in Cusco and each ViaSpanish destination. From helping students select courses to choosing the best gym, the staff of ViaSpanish is here to help.
Health and Traveler’s Insurance
ViaSpanish *highly* recommends that all students have comprehensive international health and travel insurance abroad for the full duration of their program. For those who wish to purchase insurance, ViaSpanish has teamed up with CareMed International to offer students two comprehensive travel and medical insurance packages at affordable monthly rates to ensure international coverage for our students. Plans for insurance abroad include medical, legal and technical services, 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and are valid for study in Cusco, or any ViaSpanish destination, along with travel around South America.
Health and Safety Information
ViaSpanish assures all students that we take health and safety as well as safe travel practices very seriously on each of our programs abroad. International concerns and all emergency information available in Peru are taken into heavy consideration when developing our programs and are at the forefront of our minds throughout the length of each student’s program.

Conversation Partner (Intercambio)
Students wishing to practice their Spanish with a local native Spanish speaker in Cusco who is learning their native language can be introduced to an Intercambio language exchange partner (subject to availability based on native language). Students can practice both languages while meeting at their leisure throughout the duration of their stay (minimum one month). For students studying for shorter amounts of time, ViaSpanish schools plan weekly activities to participate in intercambios with locals.
