Abstract (English): Objective: interculturality in higher education is essential in multicultural contexts such as Lima, where ethnic and cultural diversity is significant. This study aims to describe how the Faculty of Education of a private university in Lima is integrating interculturality in the training of its students with the aim of preparing future educators to work effectively in culturally diverse environments. Methodology: this research follows a qualitative descriptive approach, in which in-depth interviews were conducted with 5 teachers and 15 students from the first, third and fifth cycles, complemented by a documentary analysis of the syllabuses of general training subjects during the 2024-1 cycle. The data were analyzed using thematic study techniques. Results: it was revealed that, although initiatives such as specific courses have been implemented, certain significant challenges persist. Students have improved their understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity, as well as their ability to apply intercultural principles in the classroom; However, the lack of transversality in the inclusion of these contents throughout the curriculum and the need for more practical experiences and resources were identified as barriers. Conclusions: although notable efforts have been made, a more comprehensive and sustained approach is required for intercultural training to be truly effective and transversal in all aspects of the curriculum.
