P
eru’s La Libertad region is rich with history. Its capital, Trujillo is located along the northern coast. With
beautiful Pacific Ocean beaches and access to the inland
highlands, it is no wonder that students return again and
again to this location. Indulge in a plate of world-class
ceviche, ride in an indigenous reed canoe, bask
along a Pacific beach, or begin exploring the history of
the pre-Columbian civilizations whose influences can
still be seen in contemporary Peruvian society.
