Peru

Located in South America where the Amazon rainforest and Andes mountains collide, Peru is a country that is exceptionally diverse and authentic. The culture, people, food, history, and more are distinct and unforgettable. For this, Peru is often called the “richest country in the world”, and all the things that define Peru hold the “the essence of life itself.”

Choose one of many available areas of study and come with us to experience what Peru has to offer. In anthropology and archaeology programs, students can study ancient Peru by touring ruins of the Inca, the most powerful empire in South America. They can also see ancient traditions that are alive and well today by visiting small local communities in the Sacred Valley to learn about the customs and beliefs that have been passed down for centuries in Peruvian culture.

Peru is a natural wonder. It is one of ten “mega-diverse” countries in the world, and is home to an abundance of flora and fauna, thousands of which are endemic to Peru. The varied ecosystem and beautiful landscapes are magical to explore, and students can be fully immersed into nature through guided treks, national park tours, and glamping.

No matter your preferred area of study, Peru is a great choice for studying abroad, and we can work with you to customize your itinerary! View our featured program below, or take a look at another very popular Peru program, Anthropology and Archaeology.
