Virtually all tourists to Peru visit Cusco, so it’s a cosmopolitan city that never stops. And people from Cusco are kind and welcoming. As soon as you arrive in Cusco, you’ll find that everyone wants to share their rich history with you! They are always willing to show you the city’s archaeology or explain the history of an Incan building.
Upon arrival in Peru, you’ll be met at the airport and taken to your housing. Then, an on-site orientation will get you used to your housing and the International Center. During the program, you’ll participate in excursions and field trips from the breathtaking ruins of the ancient Incan city Machu Picchu to the imposing Sacsayhuaman fortress and other archaeological sites. You'll live with other international students at La Casa de Don Ignacio, a home near the Central Square "Plaza de Armas," close to stores, resaurants and everything else Cusco has to offer.
The Summer in Peru program is in a great location, and you’ll find pretty much everything you need in local stores a quick walk from your housing.
