Our team
Cristian López
President & Founder, Peru Study Abroad
Cristian studied Tourism and Administration at Universidad Andina del Cusco and holds a Master’s degree in Administrative Science from Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola in Lima. He has been involved in international education for more than 15 years, and has worked as a tour leader in Perú, as well as faculty and director of the Language Center at Universidad Andina del Cusco.
