Life-Changing Summer Abroad in Cusco
by: Solymar Ortiz - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Cusco, PeruI did the Summer I semester in Cusco and had a truly life-changing experience. Despite being a shortened semester, ISA made sure we saw all of the best parts of Cusco. Cusco's rich history and culture made for an amazing time studying abroad. The ISA staff and my professors made sure to support me every step of the way, providing great help even when I got sick.

Self-discovery in Cusco, Peru
by: Karen Rodriguez - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Cusco, PeruThe opportunity to study abroad presented itself at the perfect time. During the fall semester of my junior year, I was going through a mental rut; I felt disconnected, unmotivated, and dispassionate. As someone from a tight-nit community that intentionally stays close, I never considered studying abroad. That was until I experienced an abundance of frequent synchronicities. Initially, I was reluctant to even apply for a program because I felt fear; the most pressing of them all was discovering ...
Wish I could go back
by: Samantha Herlich - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Cusco, PeruI had the most incredible time spending 3 months in Cusco. I was able to go on an abundance of beautiful hikes, become immersed in the culture, and eat incredible food! The staff at ISA were also so supportive! They would give recommendations on things to do in Cusco and always were there to help out if needed.

Originally I chose ISA because of what the overall study abroad package offered. Working with ISA throughout the beginning stages was quite easy as well. I didn’t really see the benefits of choosing ISA as my study abroad program until after I had returned to the states.

I chose ISA because they had everything and more that I was looking for. They offered excursions to Machu Picchu, my number one reason for choosing Perú, as well as to the Amazon Jungle, Amazon River, the deserts of Ica.
