Peru

Peru occupies a long Pacific coastline and the western Andes in South America. The country’s terrain rises from coastal deserts through high mountain valleys to the vast Amazon Basin, creating striking contrasts between regions. The Andes include the Cordillera Blanca, while Lake Titicaca, shared with Bolivia, lies in the south-east. Peru’s pre-Columbian heritage is central to its identity: Machu Picchu, the Inca citadel above the Urubamba Valley, is among the world’s best-known archaeological sites. Lima adds a different rhythm, with colonial architecture, museums and a celebrated food culture shaped by Indigenous, Spanish, African and Asian influences.
