Spanish Study Abroad Programs in Cusco, Peru

Cusco is a city in southeastern Peru, situated high in the Peruvian Andes Mountains. It boasts a rich cultural history as the former center of the Inca Empire. The first Spaniards arrived in the 1530s, with Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro, discovering the city. Much of the architecture in present-day Cusco is a mix of Inca and Spanish influence. The city has been built around ancient landmarks and is surrounded by incredible ruins, including the nearby Inca archaeological site, Machu Picchu.
