M M2024-07-14I was looking for a Spanish school somewhere I can feel safe as a solo travelers. I spoke to several schools the staff at Mundo Antiguo were the most helpful answering my many many questions!! I signed up for the 4 weeks immersion program plus a 4 day trek to salkantay. Rolf who organized the weekend activities was amazing to deal with and super knowledgable & helpful. He has excellent insight on the various trips and what ability is needed. Luckily I adjusted my schedule because of his recommendation. The staff at the school were amazing, fun and welcoming. Although I was a solo traveler I never felt alone. Ninoska organized the social and educational events. I learned a lot about the Peruvian culture. My teachers Juan Carlos and Amy were so encouraging, patient and lots of fun. I can’t believe what I learned!!I was there during my 58th birthday - feeling a bit melancholy - and away from friends and family - however, the staff/school surprised and celebrated me in fine Peruvian culture … it made my bday super special. Finally, I loved Cusco!! Felt safe at all times. The culture, dancing, live music scene is amazing. Restaurants are great and people are so welcoming.Mariana Rubin2024-07-14I cannot speak highly enough about Mundo Antigua Spanish School. I took 2 weeks of Spanish classes in June 2024 while solo travelling in South America, and it really has been a highlight of my trip. I took group classes with 3 other students at the same level. I was able to improve my Spanish through extensive opportunities for conversation and a total bonus - made brilliant friends within the class too. Teachers were fantastic - I had Roy and Miguel, both teachers were able to explain concepts clearly and very patient when I needed extra clarification. Classes are a great mix of structured lessons, conversation, and homework. Outside of lessons I also participated in social activities -there’s a busy social calendar at the school which includes events like going for dinner, salsa, playing football, language exchange and other cultural activities. Ninoska is the social coordinator and she is so warm and welcoming and helps make the school an amazing community. I was even invited to partake in the activities a week before my classes started which helped me to form some friendships at the school. Admin staff also extremely approachable and kind and very responsive to inquiries. I loved my time here and my only regret is not staying longer - hopefully next time !!William Cooke2024-07-02Highly recommend Mundo Antiguo. I studied here for 3 weeks and could have easily stayed longer. The teachers are fun, passionate and knowledgeable, plus the social activities organised by the school are a great way to explore Cusco and meet people outside your class.Daisy Woollard2024-06-25I studied at Mundo for two weeks and have nothing but great things to say about every aspect of the school!! It has a really warm feel to it and the lessons were fun and interactive - I had Jimmy and Heidi as my teachers and would highly recommend them! It was also super nice to have optional activities to attend (particularly enjoyed the language exchange night). If I had more time, I would have stayed longer!!Daphne Chui2024-06-22I spent 4 weeks studying Spanish at Mundo Antiguo and had a fantastic experience! The school catered to my level of Spanish, and I was put in classes with other people of my level. The teachers were friendly and patient , and I learned a great deal! Beyond classes, the school organised activities everyday (eg: the potato tasting activity in the photo!) for students to get to better understand Peruvian culture and also get to know one another better. All the activities were so much fun! Lastly, I did a homestay with a local family, which was organised by the school, and I gained so much from that experience. In all, I highly recommend studying at Mundo Antiguo, should you be passing by Cusco during your travels!Neta Shagan2024-06-21This school is amazing!! I spent two weeks here and had the most amazing time. The staff and all the teachers are super friendly and really know how to make the classes fun and interactive. Also highly recommend the social events, they were all great and a great way to explore Cusco and have fun outside of class!Lana2024-06-16Ich habe die Schule eine Woche lang besucht. Der Einzelunterricht war super, da auf meine individuellen Wünsche eingegangen wurde, die Lehrer sind alle sehr freundlich und kompetent. Ich habe mich sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt, da die Atmosphäre sehr herzlich und familiär ist. Außerdem werden außerhalb des Unterrichts viele Aktivitäten angeboten, so konnte man schnell Kontakte knüpfen und konnte Cusco und die Kultur näher kennenlernen.Radio Weesper2024-05-14Super school. We had some intensive Spanish classes: one week, every day classes in the morning, with in the afternoon free time. The energy was really nice and warm. You got to know the teachers and they organize cool things: fruit tasting, sporting, having dinner. At the and of the week it was my birthday. Let's just say that they made it very special with a super sweet surprise. It's more than just learning Spanish, it's just a lot of fun :)Suzanne Davelaar2024-05-13La escuela es fantástica!

La genta de escuela son muy amable, divertido y me ayuda mucho!Cécilia Lavergne2024-05-12Es una gran escuela, los profesores son atentos y muy profesionales.

Martine M2024-07-14Highly recommend Mundo Antiguo and the city of Cusco for a Spanish school Loved my experience at Mundo Antiquo. I was a bit nervous spending 5 weeks in Peru on my own. From the moment I spoke to the staff it was apparent that they take of their students above and beyond the classroom. The school staff fosters a culture of warmth and welcoming - the students I met were from various ages and countries and there were no barriers. I did the immersion program and the activities were fantastic. The social coordinator is amazing making sure there is always something happening during the week. She also takes great pride in Peruvian culture which I learned so much and is fascinating. The teachers are fantastic I can’t believe how much Spanish I learned!! I did homework everyday … Cusco is a beautiful city and I felt very safe. Wear good shoes because of even roads, there are lots of hills and I July it gets cold at night/early mornings.ThijsHolland2024-06-22Fantastic I took Spanish lessons for 10 weeks. It was a fantastic experience. I learned a lot and the teachers could explain it well. I enjoyed every day at the school, thanks!Daphne C2024-06-22Highly recommend studying at Mundo Antiguo!

The school is clean and well maintained and the staff is friendly. My teacher Connie was pleasant, helped me with my communication and explained the rules while always keeping a smile, she was very patient and fun to talk with! Loved my experience in Guatemala and I highly recommend it. Antigua is a lovely town with great food and lots of places to explore.Carla D2024-05-23Amazing school, great teachers and students Studying at Mundo Antiguo has easily been the highlight of our 5 months in South America. We spent 4 weeks at the school and saw an immense improvement in our speaking and comprehension. Highly recommend staying at a homestay as well - we had an amazing stay with a lovely family and it definitely assisted in our spanish learning. Every teacher was outstanding and the school really cares about each students experience. The social activities were an unexpected bonus and a great opportunity to practice more spanish and meet like-minded students. It was a joy to be a student at the school, we can't recommend it enough!Dominique v2024-05-13Amazing to learn Spanish and to connect with people from all over the world! Mundo Antiguo is an amazing school to learn Spanish and to meet new people locally as from other cultures. The teachers are so kind and welcoming and they make sure that the classes are fun and active filled with a lot of practicing and fun language games. Besides the regular classes, the school organises very fun activities with which you can connect with other people from the school and get to learn about the Peruvian culture. The teachers and activities are definitely what makes this school a success and I would highly recommended it to anyone who wants to learn Spanish and get to know more about the Peruvian culture.Suzanne D2024-05-13Fantastic!!
