Peru

Peru stacks three utterly different worlds along one north-to-south axis: the driest coastal desert on earth, the high Andean plateaus where ancient stonework still defines the skyline, and dense Amazon basin stretching east toward Brazil. Quechua and Spanish share the streets in highland markets, and the smell of wood smoke and roasting corn follows you up every mountain pass.

About Peru

Overview

Peru occupies the central-west coast of South America, bordered by Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, and Chile. Lima is the capital and largest city. Spanish is the official language alongside recognised indigenous languages including Quechua and Aymara. The currency is the Peruvian sol. Culturally, the country is shaped by a deep Incan heritage layered with Spanish colonial influence and a growing reputation as a global culinary destination.
