There is a tropical feel to the air and it is greener and warmer than other beaches to the south. The main and stunning atmospheric feature is that every evening during the year there is a beautiful sunset. As with most beach areas, and if you want to, you can easily take part in outdoor and local activities after class. These are optional and self-pay activities. You could visit local tourist attractions like the thermal springs or enjoy the main one in Zorritos; surfing. The Zorritos training team is small and friendly team and we offer you the warmest welcome. Our teaching staff and support staff have many years of TEFL experience and just as importantly experience in Peru. Our staff are permanent residents of Zorritos who have invaluable knowledge that will get to know the area from the ground up. Peru is one of the world’s greatest centres of ancient civilization. Prior to the invasion by the Spanish conquistadors, the country’s diverse cultures and civilizations, that culminated in the well-known Inca Empire (Tawantinsuyo), were some of the most advanced in the world, and they left behind one of the richest collections of architecture, metallurgy, ceramics, and textiles known to man. Peru is located in the west central part of South America, and is the 19th largest country in the world. It shares borders to the north with Ecuador, to the south with Chile and Bolivia, and to the east with Columbia and Brazil. Peru’s geography, climates, and cultures are diverse due to the natural variation of its regions, which include the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon jungle. Take a trip to Macchu Pichu, a pre-Columbian Inca site located 2,430 metres (8,000 ft) above sea level. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 kilometres northwest of Cusco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Often referred to as “The Lost City of the Incas”, Machu Picchu is one of EBC International TEFL Certificate—Accredited TEFL training EBC TESOL AND TEFL TRAINING ACCREDITED, AWARDS A TEFL AND TESOL CERTIFICATE OBSERVED TEACHING PRACTICE, PRACTICE WITH ENGLISH LEARNERS, COVERS TEACHING TO ALL AGES, COVERS TEACHING BUSINESS ENGLISH, INTERVIEW PREPARATION, WORRY FREE JOB SUPPORT EBC JOB SUPPORT EBC PREPARES YOU FOR INTERVIEWS, EBC APPLIES FOR YOUR JOBS, EBC IDENTIFIES SCHOOLS FOR YOU, ALL YOU DO IS ATTEND INTERVIEWS, EASY TO USE AND TROUBLE FREE, UNRIVALLED, PROACTIVE, FAST, EFFICIENT, LIFETIME, WORLDWIDE, EXCLUSIVE TO EBC GRADUATES CONTACT www.ebcteflcourse.com [email protected] Skype: ebcteflcourse the most familiar symbols of the Inca Empire. The Incas started building it around AD 1430 but was abandoned as an official site for the Inca rulers a hundred years later at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Although known locally, it was largely unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an American historian. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction. Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. Since it was not plundered by the Spanish when they conquered the Incas, it is especially important as a cultural site and is considered a sacred place. Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its primary buildings are the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. These are located in what is known by archaeologists as the Sacred District of Machu Picchu. If you’re in the mood to thoroughly immerse yourself in Peru, do it on Zorritos Island!

If you are, ignore this section. Your passport Make sure that your passport will have at least 6 months life left on it when you travel to Peru. If it doesn't, you will have problems. Entry visas European Union, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand passport holders IGNORE THIS SECTION. You DO NOT need a tourist visa to enter Peru. If you DO NOT have a passport from a European Union country, the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand then please make sure that you do the following: Check with your country’s Peruvian embassy or consulate to find out what your specific entry requirements are to cover the 28 day TESOL TEFL course period. Before you send a deposit you must check with your nearest Peruvian embassy or consulate as to exactly what you need to do in order to apply for a tourist visa to enter Peru. In order to take the course you must have a tourist visa that will allow you to stay in Peru for 5 weeks. Make sure you have your visa BEFORE you send your deposit. Visa Extensions The centre coordinator will help you with a visa extension if it is needed. Your visa can be extended by leaving the country for 24 hours or by paying approximately $US50.00 to the Peruvian Immigration Office to obtain a 30-day extension.

It is not recommended to carry your actual passport, as loss or theft of your passport can be a costly and time-consuming problem. It is also a good idea to keep photocopies of other important documents (airline tickets, prescriptions, etc.) in a safe location. You will be given a tourist card from immigration authorities as you pass through immigration at the Airport. As you enter, you can politely insist on a 90-day stamp, though ultimately this is at the discretion of the immigrations officer - most passports are stamped for 30, 60, or 90 days. An exit ticket is officially required to leave the country and you will be required to pay a $25 airport tax before your departure. Because entry requirements change frequently, it is always a good idea to call your Peruvian Embassy or consulate before leaving to see if there are any new regulations. This information is subject to change at any time. To avoid disappointment, please contact your local consulate for current travel regulations prior to planning your trip. WHAT SHOULD I BRING? Mandatory Your passport with your visa stamp with at least 6 months left to run on it (with a visa if you need one – refer to the visa section for more information). A round-trip or onward travel ticket if you aren't already in Peru. If you arrive only with a one-way ticket and passport control asks to see your return ticket, they will force you to buy a return ticket on the spot. This will be very expensive. The chances of this happening are unlikely but not impossible so play it safe. Your signed course payment receipts. If you have a degree, a copy of your transcripts (official or unofficial) or a copy of your degree certificate.

The TEFL job market in Peru is always good. Don't delay looking for a job until you start running out of your savings. The best time to look is when you finish the course.

This varies depending on what type of school or company you work for and whether you work full or parttime.

A small apartment in a good neighbourhood costs about 200 USD a month. It is fair to say that TEFL teachers are quite well-paid by local standards in Peru, which means they can afford a comfortable standard of living. A TEFL teacher can expect to earn around $US500 per month working 20 to 30 hours per week. While this may not sound a lot by international standards, it means you can live quite comfortably in Peru. How much money should I bring? You should budget to spend between 250 Dollars (Spartan life) to 500 Dollars (good life) for the period covering the 28 day course. If you want to stay and work in Zorritos or the rest of Peru you should budget between 500 to 1,000 Dollars to cover finding apartments in Zorritos and living expenses until you get your first pay-check. Do schools provide work permits? EUROIDIOMAS will secure a work permit for you. What if I get sick in Zorritos? General (and avoidable) health risks Peru poses health risks that can be easily avoided by taking some simple precautions. Do not drink tap water unless it has been boiled, treated with iodine, or purified (this includes ice cubes or anything that has come into contact with untreated wa- EBC International TEFL Certificate—Accredited TEFL training EBC TESOL AND TEFL TRAINING ACCREDITED, AWARDS A TEFL AND TESOL CERTIFICATE OBSERVED TEACHING PRACTICE, PRACTICE WITH ENGLISH LEARNERS, COVERS TEACHING TO ALL AGES, COVERS TEACHING BUSINESS ENGLISH, INTERVIEW PREPARATION, WORRY FREE JOB SUPPORT EBC JOB SUPPORT EBC PREPARES YOU FOR INTERVIEWS, EBC APPLIES FOR YOUR JOBS, EBC IDENTIFIES SCHOOLS FOR YOU, ALL YOU DO IS ATTEND INTERVIEWS, EASY TO USE AND TROUBLE FREE, UNRIVALLED, PROACTIVE, FAST, EFFICIENT, LIFETIME, WORLDWIDE, EXCLUSIVE TO EBC GRADUATES CONTACT www.ebcteflcourse.com [email protected] Skype: ebcteflcourse ter, such as raw vegetables washed in tap water). Cholera is present, but is usually not a risk for those who follow proper food and water precautions. If you are bitten by a dog (or any animal), get a medical check-up immediately to avoid contracting rabies. Mosquitoes in tropical areas carry malaria, so if you want to visit the Amazon during your trip, you should always wear insect repellent, long sleeve shirts, long pants, and bring anti-malaria pills. Altitude preparation if you want to go to Cusco or other high destinations Parts of Peru are 11,000+ feet above sea level so it is best to allow your body to adjust to the altitude for a few days. During this time, get plenty of rest, don’t eat heavy meals, and avoid alcohol. Even the healthiest of individuals can be affected by altitude sickness - so take it easy for the first few days! It is recommended that you bring altitude sickness medication. Acetazolamide is the drug most often used to prevent altitude sickness. The usual dosage is 125 milligrams or 250 milligrams two or three times daily starting 24 hours before ascent, and continuing for 48 hours after reaching altitude. If you feel any symptoms immediately after landing, there is a medical station in the airport, and of course the school is always available to help you, and we have lots of experience getting participants well again. If you want to shortcut altitude preparation you can avoid the unpleasantness of altitude sickness by safely taking medication before you arrive. If you prefer not to take medication, an alternative is to allow yourself 72 hours to get acclimatised. Rest, do not eat too much and drink lots of liquid especially the locally available coca tea. Coca tea has medicinal and digestive properties. Stay away from alcohol, cigarettes and fatty foods. For expert guidance about altitude preparation, see your doctor BEFORE you travel. Vaccinations Typhoid, Yellow Fever and Hepatitis A are present in Peru and it is strongly recommended that you get vaccinated (especially if you plan on visiting the Amazon region). If you plan to stay more than six months, a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if EBC International TEFL Certificate—Accredited TEFL training EBC TESOL AND TEFL TRAINING ACCREDITED, AWARDS A TEFL AND TESOL CERTIFICATE OBSERVED TEACHING PRACTICE, PRACTICE WITH ENGLISH LEARNERS, COVERS TEACHING TO ALL AGES, COVERS TEACHING BUSINESS ENGLISH, INTERVIEW PREPARATION, WORRY FREE JOB SUPPORT EBC JOB SUPPORT EBC PREPARES YOU FOR INTERVIEWS, EBC APPLIES FOR YOUR JOBS, EBC IDENTIFIES SCHOOLS FOR YOU, ALL YOU DO IS ATTEND INTERVIEWS, EASY TO USE AND TROUBLE FREE, UNRIVALLED, PROACTIVE, FAST, EFFICIENT, LIFETIME, WORLDWIDE, EXCLUSIVE TO EBC GRADUATES you are coming from an infected country.
