Homestay or Student House? Choosing Your Housing in Peru

Both options are safe and close to your classes or placement. Here is how to choose the one that fits your program and style.

Choosing where to live is one of the first decisions of your study abroad experience. Peru Study Abroad offers two options, both carefully selected and backed by our 24/7 in-country support.

Homestay

Single or shared room (maximum two students per room per family), breakfast and dinner included, and weekly laundry service. It is the best way to practice Spanish every day and live the culture from the inside.

Students house

A single bedroom with a shared kitchen, tableware and living area — in Cusco or in Calca, in the Sacred Valley. Ideal if you prefer more independence and want to cook your own meals.

How to decide

  • Want maximum language immersion? Choose a homestay.
  • Doing a placement in the Sacred Valley? The students house in Calca keeps you close to your project.
  • Not sure? Tell us about your goals and we will recommend the right fit.
