I will be studying abroad this fall in Cuzco, Peru, also known as the land of the Incas. While there, I will be attending classes at the Universidad de San Ignacio Loyola (USIL). Peru, specifically Cuzco, offers many opportunities to focus on, and learn more for both of my majors, earth science, and anthropology.
