Welcome to Instituto Perucano
We seek to expand local and global exchange opportunities for youth and young professionals in areas of human development & sustainable food systems! ~James Sarria, Executive Director


We value global citizenship
Why Perucano?
The passion behind the origin of our Institute’s name comes from our desire to engage Peruvian’s with professional development opportunities in North, Central, and South America. A Peruvian in Spanish is called, “Peruano” and a person from North, Central, or South America is called “Americano” in Spanish. We combined “Peru” with “cano” to form Perucano.
We welcome global collaborations to support professional development and mutual aid in Peru.
