Study in Peru
Today surfing on the Pacific coast, tomorrow exploring the rainforest and the day after exploring breathtaking temple ruins in the Andes? During a semester abroad in Peru, your weekend could look like this! The oldest university in the Americas was founded in Lima in 1551. Where else? Hardly any other country stands for culture and tradition as much as Peru. Surely you have heard of the legendary stories of the country, such as the cradle of the Inca culture, the beautiful Machu Picchu, one of the seven new wonders of the world. But Peru has much more to offer. Nearly 50% of the population are indigenous people who hold their ancient customs sacred. Whether you are in the big cities, such as Lima, Cusco or Arequipa, or traveling through the jungle, the traditional dress, languages and foods of the different Peruvian populations will be omnipresent. Studying in Peru offers incredible diversity to nature lovers, history buffs, and true adrenaline junkies alike - and even in the world's driest desert, the Atacama, there are a myriad of places waiting for you to discover!
