Spring Break ‘09: Peru
Monday, March 9th, 2009This year a group of 14 other MBA candidates and I travelled to Peru for 10 days. We had a great time. The main purpose of the trip was to do a business analyses of a micro finance firm in a poorer part of the country. We also did some community service in a new town-ship being developed in he middle of a desert, planing well over 100 much needed trees.
We travelled all over the country including Lima, Trujillo, and Cusco: all very different parts of the country. Lima is a very metropolitan city, where Trujillo is an impoverished city in the middle of the desert, and Cusco was very eclectic tourist destination with backpackers and local peddlers everywhere. We ended the trip with a visit to the legendary Inca ruins of Machu Picchu.
