Explore rich heritage and emerging markets with an internship in Peru, a country with a vibrant culture and diverse ecosystems.
Introduction
Cusco Overview
Over the past decade, the country’s economy has expanded over 2.9% each year on average, making it one of the most rapidly growing economies in the world. With its service based economy and army of multinational population, its most popular major city, Cusco attracts explorers from various parts of the world to unveil its unfiltered and unmatched natural, historical, and cultural beauties.
Today, Cusco’s multiethnic population continues to rise in numbers as the country evolves to become one of the top global destinations in fields of tourism, finance, international trade, and architecture. Cusco is an ideal destination for those who wish to intern in an international, professional, and prospering environment to enhance their skills while contributing to the development of this magical country!
Internship Opportunities in Cusco
The fact that Cusco is near one of the world’s seven wonders of the world means that tourism is one of the biggest industries in not just the region but the country as a whole.
Pre-pandemic, Peru welcomed more than 5 million visitors and the tourism industry accounted for roughly 3.9% of the country’s total GDP. Because Machu Picchu is so nearby, it has created numerous employment opportunities for those in the area, with many relying on tourism for their livelihood.
With the country recovering from the pandemic, the demand for tourism has never been higher. An internship in hospitality and tourism therefore is an extremely popular choice in the great city of Cusco.
Cusco Attractions
In Cusco, you can expect to find one of the world’s most sacred and treasured cultural heritage: Machu Picchu. Options for fun activities at this UNESCO heritage site include but are not limited to hiking at the Inca Trail, learn the rich history of this majestic site, and hop on a train to the Sacred Valley!
Outside of Machu Picchu, you can find the time to visit the picturesque rainbow mountain where you can choose to trek or go on an ATV car. If that does not interest you, you can spend a day relaxing at the Humantay Lake to take a good look at Peru’s high Alpine scenery and the history of the Inca civilization.
If you are keen for something more luxurious and comfortable, you can opt to go on a round trip in a Belmond Hiram Bingham train express where you can travel back in time with its delicate and gourmet lunch, dinner, and wine selections with a stunning view of the Alps! Or test yourself and spend a night on a Sky Camp where you can overlook the view of Salkantay mountain, Machu Picchu and more!
