Program Location:


The 2008 Summer Immersion Program will take place Huancayo, Peru, located seven hours east of the capital city of Lima. Positioned in the Peruvian Highlands, Huancayo sits at an elevation of 3200 meters (10,600 ft) above sea level.

Huancayo is home to almost 250,000 Andean people who have come from the surrounding rural areas looking for work. Though a sprawling market town, Huancayo is in close proximity to many rural communities giving it a very “traditional” feel, bustling with locals in traditional dress. Positioned high in the Andes, Huancayo is visited by few tourists and does not have the economic advantages of other areas.

Huancayo offers a location for study that takes advantage of rural and urban settings while giving the visitor an authentic Andean cultural experience.
