So sorry, we've had to cancel this program.

Cuzco - Machu Picchu - Arequipa - Lima

June 1 - June 16, 2013

You will visit one of the world's most famous UNESCO World Heritage sites, Machu Picchu! This 15th-century pre-Columbian Inca site was unknown to the world at large until its revelation in 1911. Built for an Incan emperor, the mountain-top site is our link to the Incan world. You will visit a second World Heritage site when you travel to Arequipa, Peru's second-largest city, situated high in the Andes. These are remarkable places, and you'll have a remarkable academic experience!

4 hours of Bradley credit
Roundtrip airfare from Chicago O'Hare
Room with private bath, breakfast each day
