Intro

Backpacking or traveling in Peru?

  • One of the most popular countries in South America for a dash of culture and nature. Peru is geared for travelers and offers great adventures for nature lovers, history buffs and adventure seekers alike. 
  • Activity spotting: imagine yourself Tarzan or Jane with a visit to the rainforest, climb snow-capped mountains with a good guide, find your way to the famous Machu Picchu, the Huacachina oasis, explore Lake Titicaca, the largest lake in South America, go to “the Galapagos for the poor” (Ballestas Islands) and meet beautiful species, hike among the colorful Rainbow Mountains, wander through beautiful Cuzco and discover ancient Spanish architecture combined with local markets and outdoor adventures. 

Studying in Peru?

  • There are several universities in Peru with a relatively good quality of education for South America. Some popular studies include engineering, administration, computer science, education, economics, business administration, IT, tourism. 
  • Classes are taught mostly in Spanish, a good time to pick up your Spanish (again). 

Internship in Peru?

  • A good location for internships in the fields of human rights, health care, environmental protection, social work, research. In both local and international organizations. 
  • Cities: Lima and Cusco.
  • Competencies: Spanish, cross-cultural collaboration, local skills, a deeper look into Peruvian culture.

Working as a digital nomad in Peru?

  • Peru, especially Lima, is a wonderful place for digital nomads that is still relatively undiscovered. For a combination of work and adventure, at low cost this is the place to be. The Internet is relatively good, but not excellent, depending on your location.

Travel in Peru?

  • In Peru, culture really is there for the taking. Visit the world-famous Inca city of “Machu Picchu” or admire Spanish colonial architecture in Arequipa, Cuzco and Puno. Besides a rich culture, you will also find a huge diversity of animals and nature: volcanoes, beach, jungle, rainforest and snow-capped mountains. This variation in nature provides a huge range of activities for the quiet hikers and the adrenaline seekers. Peru has it all.
  • Natural parks: Peru is incredibly diverse in natural beauty. You can find everything from the Amazon rainforest to snow-capped mountain peaks and coastal sand deserts.
  • Hiking: The variety of nature ensures that both beginners and advanced hikers can make very nice hikes. For example, the “Inca Trail” is an extraordinary four-day hike through the mountains to the hidden city of Machu Picchu.
  • (Extreme) sports: For adrenaline seekers, there is much to do. In Peru you can zipline through the mountains, bungee jump from great heights, skydive, white water rafting and mountain climbing, among other things.
  • JoHotspots in Peru
  • Cuzco: Many travelers only stay in Cuzco to get to Machu Picchu via there. The city is also absolutely worth staying a little longer. Take two days to see the unique architecture, experience the culture and taste the delicious food.
  • Oasis of Huacachina: This unexpected village of about 100 inhabitants is a real oasis, built around the lake “oasis of America” in the middle of the sandy desert.
  • Cathedrals and churches: Lima, the capital of Peru has many magnificent structures, including the famous “Cathedral of Lima” and the “Church of San Francisco.” Many other extraordinary religious buildings can also be found in Lima and other cities of the country.
  • It is advisable to pay close attention when participating in traffic.
  • Also, do not just get into a cab, but check if it has a “cab” sign and if the car looks decent.
