Lima, a city full of history and culture, endless beaches,  hills and mountains, nightlife, the possibility to see  Cuzco,  Machu Picchu and much more!

 Although four hundred years have passed since its foundation,  Lima, known as the City of the Kings, has managed to hold onto  its  traditions  from pre-Inca and Inca times. Strolling through the  streets and squares  of the historic center of Lima is like stepping  back in time.

 Take in Lima’s colonial architecture, for which it was declared a  UNESCO World Heritage Site. In almost all of Lima’s  neighborhoods, you can enjoy an exciting nightlife with many  enticing possibilities: casinos, discos, bars, pubs, folklore shows  and restaurants where you can enjoy and dance to local music.

 Lima is located on the central coast of Peru, touching the Pacific  Ocean.

Student Testimonial:
I definitely recommend spending time at ECELA in Lima. Generally speaking, Peruvians speak very clear Spanish, so it’s a good place to learn. Additionally, the school in Miraflores is very good. The teachers and staff are not only good at their jobs, they are also genuinely nice (and fun) people – I now consider my teacher, the director and the activities director friends (and I think everyone in the school had a similar experience). I spent time at ECELA in Santiago, Buenos Aires and Lima, and I am very glad I did the Lima portion. Obviously, each place is culturally different, but in many ways Lima is the furthest culturally from the U.S., making it a little extra interesting and rewarding..
