To say ‘Peru’ is to conjure up many different images relating to its ancient history (Pre-Columbian Civilizations) and its more recent troubled history (Shining Path, Fujimori). Experience Peru's present firsthand and how changes have affected Peruvian's perception of themselves and their country in the first decade of the new millennium. From the national economy to the informal sector, explore how Peru's expanding global economy is expected to impact the future of poverty and equality within its borders. The seminar will take place both in Lima and in Cusco and will include a trip to Machu Picchu.
This ten-day seminar begins in Lima (six nights) and ends in Cusco (three nights), including a trip while in Cusco to Machu Picchu. Round-trip group travel by air from Lima to Cusco is included in the seminar fee. Seminar participants should plan to fly home (or on to further travels) after the seminar from Lima.
