Destination:

Currently, the excursion is planned to Peru with stays in the Cordillera Blanca (Huaraz Region) and in Lima. In case of enhanced global crisis with increased prices and/or security risks, the destination might be changed. We are also aware that an excursion to Peru will have a large CO2 foodprint. While we will discuss options to compensate emissions, we also motivate all students to consider a private stay in the region to make more out of the same emissions. There might also be options to due a intership at Peruvian institutions whereas in this case, some knowledge of Spanish is recommended.
