ISA began this exciting program in Lima, Peru during the Spring of 2006. Since it's opening, this program has continued to grow in popularity. The allure of Peru as a study abroad destination can be attributed, among many things, to the country's incredibly diverse geography and the marvels of its ancient history. Peru is home to virgin rainforests, the rugged Andes Mountains, and a coastline along the Southern Pacific Ocean.

In addition to its enticing natural beauty, Peru is enlivened by its indigenous and colonial history, which is evidenced in archeological gems, such as Machu Picchu and contrasted in its populous capital, Lima. As the capital city of Peru, Lima is the primary site for industry and education. Its idyllic location along the Pacific coast provides an exceptional site for students to improve their Spanish and learn about Peruvian culture.

Due to the popularity of the Lima, Peru program, ISA added another study abroad destination in Peru in 2009 in the Andean city of Cusco, the capital of the Inca!
