Urubamba sits at around 2,800 metres above sea level, about 600 metres lower than Cusco, which can make acclimatization easier for families. But for me the bigger difference is what surrounds you: enormous mountains, farmland, rivers, small communities and Inca sites. Life moves at a different pace.
Urubamba has markets, cafés, pharmacies, and medical services — everything you need for everyday life. And the countryside is only minutes away. It’s not Cusco. It’s smaller and quieter. For me, that’s exactly the point.
We have an excellent classroom space for the days when we need to sit down, focus, and work on projects. But the classroom is only one part of the experience. Much of our time is spent outside — on excursions, workshops, cultural visits, and adventures across the valley.

Each week is designed around a central theme, with students spending two days learning at the hub and two days exploring the region through field trips, workshops, cultural experiences, and outdoor activities.

Explore the Sacred Valley at your own pace, or join optional weekend activities with our community.
- It's a drop-off program. Parents are welcome to join excursions for an additional fee, but it’s completely optional.
- Sessions are in English. Your child doesn't need to speak Spanish.
- Have a younger child? We can help arrange a place at a local preschool we work with.
- Lunch is available as an optional add-on.
- The weekly structure provides consistency, but the program isn’t rigid. We adapt each week to the children’s interests, local opportunities, and weather conditions.
