Archaeological heritage Ten thousand years of history are lived through 180 museums and historical places.

Nature and landscapes As home to 84 of the 104 life zones that exist on our planet Peru is a privileged destination for nature lovers. Close to 20% of the world’s birds and 10% of the world's reptiles live here.

Throughout the year Peruvians celebrate some 3,000 festivals all over the country.

Today, there are more than eight million inhabitants, and the city shelters immigrants from all corners of the globe, which have transformed it into a mixed city par excellence. Come to Lima and discover an amazing city, melting pot of Peru’s cultures, faces and flavors and enjoy its warm hospitality. Lima is more than a city to rush through on the way to other destinations in Peru. It is a city rich in culture and things to do and see. Here you can tour the museums displaying the history and anthropology of the past, the richness of the Inca Empire, the many regional varieties of the country, plus enjoyable neighboring beaches and sports. Night life, full of music of all kinds and lively bars welcome the traveler amidst various other types of entertainment designed to accommodate young and not so young visitors. Budget / estimated expenses Exchange students coming to live in Lima should consider the following expenses: Accommodation US$170 to US$240 per month if living with a local family US$270 to US$450 if renting an apartment. Meals - Breakfast Lunch Dinner US$4.00 US$5.00 US$5.00 US$14.00/day or US$420 per month 3 Other expenses Laundry, photocopying, transportation, movies, and similar expenses may amount to US$150 per month. Arrival Incoming students should plan to arrive one week before the beginning of the term. Upon arrival at Lima’s international airport ESAN recommends to hire a registered taxi (available within the airport premises). Cost is approximately US$18 to either San Isidro or Miraflores. Currency and credit cards The Peruvian currency is the Nuevo Sol. At present (December 2014), the exchange rate may vary from 2.91 to 2.96 soles per 1.00 US dollar. In Peru, US dollars are easiest to exchange although Euros are also accepted in banks, exchange houses and identified street vendors. Any other currency can be difficult to change outside of Lima. Bills in lower denominations are more convenient because retailers may have limited change. The same is true of taxi drivers. Vendors, banks, exchange houses, etc. will not accept dollar bills that are old or have even the slightest tear. The Nuevo Sol (S/.) is divided into 100 cents. The currency includes 10, 20 and 50 cent coins and also 1, 2 and 5 sol coins. There are bills in the denomination of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 soles. The most widely accepted credit card in Peru is Visa. MasterCard and American Express are also accepted but not so openly. 3 Meals at ESAN’s cafeteria, in food courts or small restaurants. 5 Climate Summer Autumn Winter December 22 . to March 21 . nd st March 22 . to June 21 . nd nd June 22 . to September 22 . Spring September 23 . to December 21 . nd rd st st - 20 to 29°C 22 to 17°C 17 to 13°C - 13 to 19°C Electricity The electric system of Peru uses 220 volts and 60 cycles. Some four and five star hotels provide 110 volt sockets. It is therefore important to verify the voltage of hair dryer, razors, sound systems, loaders of batteries of lap tops, video camera recording, etc., before plugging them in. Should it be necessary, 110/220 transformers can be easily purchased. Telephone service There are several options available in Lima to make either local, national and international phone calls. Also cellular phones are extensively used. Phone cards can be purchased in stands and supermarkets from S/.10 on. Medication ESAN’s physician is available Monday and Friday afternoons, from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. Exchange students that require medication for extended periods of time may prefer to bring sufficient amounts of it to last for the duration of their stay. ESAN will also provide guidance as to clinics and hospitals, should the student prefer to consult with a private physician. Eating out If you enjoy dining out and trying new foods, you are in for a real treat. Peru is known for having some of the best cuisine in South America. Delicious seafood, powerful spices and abundance of fresh produce (including 400 different types of potatoes) make this country a food connoisseur's delight!

They include large department stores like Ripley and Saga Fallabella, and boutiques of many kinds, plus cinemas, food courts, bookstores and drugstores. 6 UNIVERSIDAD ESAN ESAN was originally founded in July of 1963 as a graduate school of business under the auspices of the governments of Peru and the United States that entrusted its start up to Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. Since then the institution has come long ways, until becoming ESAN University on July 12, 2003 by Law N° 28021. Throughout these years ESAN has achieved a relevant role in Peru, based on the quality of its MBA and executive programs, its over five thousand MBA graduates and 80,000 business managers. Responsible for these achievements is a highly qualified faculty and professional body, entirely devoted to the institution. ESAN continues to be fully immersed in an internationalization process, maintaining strategic links with prestigious institutions in the five Continents, and keeping a permanent and stimulating dialogue with their authorities and members. Through this effort we offer our faculty, students and alumni, new dimensions of knowledge and opportunities for professional and personal growth. Our campus, located on the site of an old hacienda-house in the district of Santiago de Surco, surrounded by hills and green areas and with modern installations, provides the atmosphere required for studying.

Likewise, if baggage includes electric or electronic items, tools, spare parts and equipment proper to the traveler's profession, job or activity, there can be no more than one (1) item per type of article. The traveler must present the Baggage Declaration to the evaluation officer to determine the minimum referential value of the articles on which only one charge of 20% on CIF value will be applied, to be paid at the bank office in the International Arrivals Hall. When the articles that form part of the baggage exceed the value of US$1000.00, they will be subject to the full tariff duty that corresponds to them.

The traveler is to be identified by passport to the Customs Officer and will present his duly completed Baggage Declaration.

If the green light flashes, whatever the traveler has stated in the Baggage Declaration will be accepted and the baggage may be retrieved without inspection. 26 • • If the red light flashes, this indicates that the baggage has been selected at random for inspection. If there is no discrepancy between the contents of the baggage and that stated in the Baggage Declaration, the baggage may be retrieved for entry into the country. If on random inspection a discrepancy is found between the customs declaration and the contents of the baggage, the baggage will be issued an administrative impoundment; if the value of the merchandise subject to the fine is valued at more than 4 tax units (2001 Value of Tax Unit - S/.3000) the district attorney in charge of Customs Judicial Matters will be notified to initiate legal action for the charge of Contraband/Smuggling.
