Departamento de Cusco Cockroaches in Cusco???
Posted: Tue April 15, 2008 03:13 PM UTC
Hi,
I am thinking about studying Spanish in Cusco for a few weeks. However, I am DEATHLY afraid of cockroaches, especially the big ones. Are there alot of them in Cusco? Do they fly?
I know it is a silly fear because they can't hurt me but for some reason they paralyze me with terror.

Gracias a todos!

i never saw a cockroach in cuzco. that doesn't mean that they don't exist.
but cockroaches thrive (like most insects) at lower altitudes.

you should go to the jungle somewhere where cockroaches are no longer cockroaches. they magically turn into beetles.

I don't remember seeing any cockroaches in Cusco for the reasons given by other posts. If you want to take a language course check out www.cactuslanguage.com
They offer langauge courses all over the World. I did one of their courses in Costa Rica and it was really good. I checked their website and they have them in Cusco too.
Enjoy your time there -it's a truly wonderful place.
