The objective of this paper is to analyze networks established by Peruvian students in Brazil. Brazil is not their usual destination, however this country has become attractive from the moment they were able to obtain information from their compatriots about scholarships and research opportunities. Peruvian students indeed help newcomers and encourage their fellow citizens remaining in the country of origin to go study in Brazil. They use the resources available in their networks to encourage other Peruvians study in Brazil, which gives them an important role in student migration chain thus constituted, different and complementary to that played by official institutions. This paper is based on ethnographic work conducted in 2011 and 2012, supported by a literature search and interviews with Peruvians who studied in Rio de Janeiro.
