You probably should refine your career goals, you're still young, still in school, so you haven't had a chance to get into the workforce and really see how it works and what you'd like to do in it.
In fact, for an MBA, you'll actually need work experience, at least 2-3 years for most schools. So that's pretty much out of the question for you now.
But if you're interested in going into management, there are "masters in management" programs, which are designed for people like you, with no work experience. And there are a number of these programs in Germany, including the MSc in Management from WHU Beisheim, the Master in Management from EBS Business School, and the Master in Management from Mannheim Business School. Start looking at those.
One thing is that if you plan on working in Germany you should expect to have great, professional level German language skills. That takes a long time if you're just starting to learn the language now.

Thank you for your post, Im really happy for your answer. Could you please tell me more about those "masters in managements" programs, specially what would be areas that I would be able to work in. Besides, what kind of work experience is required for an MBA? Because I dont think a work experiece here in peru is as valuable as an european one. A big problem for me is the value other countries would give to my undergraduate studies, because its mainly another system.

In Europe, internationally respected MBA degrees require at least three years work experience. Quality matters more than location. MSc degrees prepared people for first roles in business. Look at the websites of some of the programmes in the FT Master in Management rankings. You will see the wide range of outcomes. These schools recruit internationally - they will know the quality of schools in your country.
