Summer in Lima
by: Gianfranco Beran - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Lima, PeruI spent a summer in Lima, Perú, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Lima is a huge city filled with endless activities, so you'll never be bored. There's something for everyone between the delicious food, rich history, amazing art, and beautiful beaches. There are also plenty of outdoor activities in the city itself or in nearby towns. And, just to reiterate, the food is a huge part of the experience. Peruvian cuisine is on another level, with Lima being home to FOUR of the World's 50 ...
Best pre-health experience possible!
by: Madison Costes - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Lima, PeruI did a summer term in Lima doing community health, and I cannot recommend it enough. The Lima staff is top tier out of all of my experiences. The city has great variety and lots of options for immersion. The program I did was amazing!! We worked firsthand in a clinic with patients, doctors, community leaders, and professors and got amazing insight into health in Peru and overall. The excursions were perfectly tailored as well. Again going to reiterate how exceptional the Lima staff was. Felt e...
Best time with amazing people!
by: Lytzy Hernandez - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Lima, PeruThis program was full of adventure and amazing experiences. I loved all the excursions from Ica/Paracas and Iquitos. Not only that but during our free weekends ISA team supported us to safely travel to Cusco because it became unavailable to us as an excursion that would be included in the program. This showed how willing they were able to help us really enjoy our time. As far as academics, the program allowed me to fulfill my Spanish minor in a fun way!

I chose to study with ISA because they had the option for a 10-week experience. I did the joint ISA and eLAP program. I loved it because I got to study for five weeks and then work in Lima for the following five weeks. I was able to work on my Spanish while studying and then got to really use what I had learned while working.
