Arts Study Abroad Programs in Peru

Wonder and challenge in a multicultural Latin American country! Keep an ear out for unfamiliar words as you explore—Peru is home to more than 90 indigenous languages. In this multicultural setting, you’ll take classes in Spanish on a modern, 100-acre campus at one of Latin America’s highest-ranking universities. See big-city contradictions up close as you dig into urban social, economic, and political issues through community service or research with Lima NGOs. Interested in education? Help a local organization support disadvantaged kids. Excursions take you out of the city to explore the oldest civilization in the Americas, natural reserves, an oasis in the desert, as well as pre-Incan and Afro-Peruvian culture, capping off an unforgettable semester.

Explore how Indigenous peoples in Peru are adapting and innovating to preserve their cultural values and shape their own future in the face of globalization. With nearly half the population of Peru identifying as Indigenous, witness the impacts of globalization on identity, transformation, and marginalization. Live with homestay families and travel to the Peruvian Amazon, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca to see how communities pursue cultural preservation and development. Learn research methods and strengthen your Spanish and Quechua language skills through immersion. SIT’s program in Peru offers the opportunity to earn a minor in Indigenous studies or anthropology.
