For many years, Alma College has had a fruitful collaboration with the Academia Latinoamericana in Quito, Ecuador, headed by Diego del Corral. Many Alma students have traveled to Cusco for Spanish language instruction and to study Peruvian culture. Alma faculty also have worked with Señor del Corral and the Academia to design Alma College Spring Term courses in Peru.

Students may study at more than one location provided they enroll in a minimum four week program in each location.

Academia Latinoamericana occupies a beautiful historical 19th century colonial house. It is located on one of the many small plazas in Cusco, called Limacpampa Grande, right behind one of the most important sites from pre-Colombian Cusco, the Qorikancha (Temple of the Sun). The building houses 17 classrooms on two floors, an indoor patio, video room, auditorium, entertainment room, wireless internet access and an interior plaza.
