About us

Building the practice of engineering geology in Peru

IAEG Peru is part of a global network dedicated to advancing engineering geology through innovation, sustainability, and ethical practice. With support from IAPG Peru, we empower Peruvian professionals and students to connect, grow, and lead.

Our mission

Connecting people to the ground they build on

We bring together students, researchers, and practicing engineers who study how geology shapes infrastructure, mining, and the built environment across Peru. Our work spans fieldwork, technical exchange, and public outreach.

As the Peruvian Group of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG), we align local practice with international standards while staying rooted in the specific challenges of Peru's terrain — from Andean slopes to coastal urban growth.
