A semester abroad in Peru has got it all! Spot penguins where the red rock cliffs back up to the sea, learn to surf in Lima, and photograph the Rainbow Mountains. And of course ... Machu Picchu!

And the highlight of it all — As an ILP volunteer, you get to make your Peru experience so much more meaningful by serving in our Humanitarian program.

All of Europe is pretty historical, but the bright colors and chapters of history found in Warsaw are only two reasons to visit the Polish capital.
