ABOUT PERU
Those who admire the remains of the past will find magnificent
testimonies to ancient cultures that date back to civilizations as
old as Mesopotamia –Caral- with an unmistakable identity that
created wonders such as the Royal Tombs of Sipan, the Nasca
Lines, Chan Chan and Machu Picchu.
Adventure travelers will be able to ride tall waves and look for
underwater life on the long stretches of natural beaches; climb
high mountain ranges, explore deep caves, run de longest and
biggest rivers on the Continent, trek along ancient paths and
wind through different eco -systems; and observe endangered
species up close in natural reserves of indescribable beauty.
Because it is a racial melting pot, the country is home to
multiple expressions of its peoples through their ancient,
creative and colorful folk art. There also will be no lack of
opportunities for the most demanding of palates to savor the
variety and quality of Peruvian cuisine, which offers the visitor
the best combination of flavors in the Americas.
Accessibility by air and land
Peru enjoys a privileged location in the heart of South
America, turning International Airport Jorge Chavez (in Lima)
into an international hub for tourism and several airlines that
reach many destinations in South America.
There are direct and stop-over flights to Lima from the main
capitals of the world.
More than 140,672 kilometers of highways, 18,698 of which are
asphalted.
Archaeological heritage
Ten thousand years of history are lived through 180 museums
and historical places. While Peru inevitably evokes images of
Machu Picchu and the Inca empire, the country is also riddled
with archaeological sites which are a legacy of even more
ancient times, when great civilizations bequeathed a legacy of
their art, customs and rituals, their wisdom and skills.
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.
Peru has converted 13% of its territory into Protected Natural
Areas.
3
Festivities and traditions
Peru is a country that sings and dances in joy and sadness with
color and a great deal of paraphernalia. Throughout the year
Peruvians celebrate some 3,000 festivals all over the country.
Incomparable cuisine
Over 40,000 restaurants across the country reflect the diversity
of a nation that has mixed its native traditions with the cuisines
of Europe, Arabia, China, Africa and Japan. The result: unique
flavors that make Peruvian cuisine one of the best and most
varied in the world.

LIVING IN LIMA
Lima was founded in 1535 and in a short
period of time became the most important
city in the Americas. 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

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.

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! To
search for restaurants in Lima you may want to visit, click here.
Public transportation
Lima has a wide variety of public transport and its cost is rather inexpensive. Traveling by bus or
colectivo may amount to US$40 per month depending on the distances to be traveled. In addition taxi
services are widely offered at very convenient prices.
Shopping
As a modern city, Lima features shopping centers in almost all its residential areas. They include large
department stores like Ripley and Saga Fallabella, and boutiques of many kinds, plus cinemas, food
courts, bookstores and drugstores.

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. All working
areas, classrooms, offices and meeting rooms have wireless access to Internet. New state of the art buildings
are being added to accommodate the many new graduate and undergraduate activities.

Stages of Procedure
• The transport company is to provide the traveler, on his return to the country, a Baggage Declaration
form, which must be completed.
• When the traveler arrives at the airport, the first step is to pass through the General Immigration
Office for the passport verification process, following which baggage can be claimed from the
baggage ramp in the International Arrivals Hall to be submitted to the Customs Control process.
• The traveler carrying articles included in the List of Duty Exempt Baggage must only fill in his
personal data and sign the Baggage Declaration, which must be presented to the Customs officer.
•
•
•
•
•
When a traveler carries goods to be declared, he must also fill in and sign the Baggage Declaration form
for the article or articles that do not exceed a value of US$1000.00 per trip or a total of US$3000.00 per
calendar year. 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

baggage or household goods or by their quantity are presumed to be for commercial use and are not
declared as freight, they will be subject to the payment of a fine of 30% of C.I.F. value and will be
cleared through Customs through the normal import procedure.
The traveler is to be identified by passport to the Customs Officer and will present his duly
completed Baggage Declaration.
All travelers must present themselves to the Green-Red Double Circuit Baggage Control System by
pressing the automatic button and the result will determine if the baggage will be subject or not to
inspection.
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.
