Travel General introductions to travel and culture in Peru

Travel
We will try to organize group rates for travel to Peru, but students generally have arranged their own flight plans. Round trip tickets from the U.S. typically cost between $700-$900 (US dollars).
In the past students have arranged travel together before or after the course to Cusco and other sites in Peru.

Accomodation
Students all stay at the Hotel Roosevelt, a 4-star hotel located in the San Isidro district of Lima, close to restaurants, shops, and bookstores. All rooms have a private bath, phone, TV, and Internet access. A substantial buffet breakfast is included. Typical cost is $18/night. Rooms are shared and roommates will be assigned; we will do our best to accommodate any roommate preferences.
