Peru is the third largest country in South America
and extends significantly along the Pacific Ocean.
The country is bordered by five other South
American gems: Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia
and Chile. Peru is a vibrant and unique country
and is made up of three distinct regions. The
first is the central high sierra of the Andes
mountain range which is the best known amongst
world travellers. The Andes mountain range is home
to many pre-Columbian cities in South America, the
most fascinating of which is Machu Picchu - The
great city of clouds. The second is Peru's lowland
coastal region, an extension of the Atacama
Desert. Three of Peru's most popular and populated
towns: Lima, Trujillo and Chiclayo are located
along this arid coastline. Peru's third and most
inaccessible region is made up of dense forests
which surround the waters of the Amazon and the
eastern slopes of the Andes. This region is only
accessible by boat up the Amazon and is usually
only visited by the most adventurous spirit.
Peru's climate varies over each of its three
regions, a tropical climate pervades the east, the
western dessert region is dry and the Andes
climate varies from temperate to frigid. The
countries official languages are Spanish and the
traditional Inca language, Quechua. Though
tourists are not to fear as English is spoken in
most of the major tourist areas. Peru is a melting
pot of tourist attractions from ancient Inca
trails to shopping at the traditional markets for
hand crafted goods. Though such an ancient city,
Peru is very modernised in certain regions.
