Before the start of term, students will participate in a two/three day excursion to sites of cultural, historic, or ecological significance in the Central Andes, or the central northern or southern coasts of Perú (these may include a visit to the 5000-year old site of Caral, the Amazonic higher jungle around the towns of San Ramón and Pichanaki, the city of Tarma in the Andes, the XVIIth-Century Franciscan Convent of Ocopa, the natural reserve of Paracas; sites vary from year to year and term to term).For example, past excursions have included a three night, four day trip to Tarma, Satipo, and Pichanaki, in the Peruvian Central Andes and Central High Amazonic Jungle, and a two night, three day trip to the natural reserve of Paracas and the colonial towns of Pisco and Ica, in Perú’s famous pisco- and wine-producing region. Program Directors will accompany students during these excursions. At the start of term, at mid-term, and then towards the end of term, there will be one-day events, around a lunch or dinner, or a visit to the Lima countryside, emphasizing exposure to Peruvian culinary and cultural traditions. All these events are included in the Program’s fees, and they are an integral part of the Term Sessions of the Program, as they provide opportunities to critically reflect upon the experience of being in Perú, and the effect it may be having on the students’ perspectives and cultural awareness.
