Peru is a very nice country in the South Pacific Ocean with a population of more than 30,000,000 people.

We have 3 regions: the coast (about 3000 kilometers long), the sierra (Andes mountains) and the Jungle ( Amazon river).

Most important cities: Lima, Capital of Peru; Cuzco (Macchu Picchu); Arequipa; Piura; Iquitos (Amazon River); Puno (Lake Titicaca, highest lake in the world); Huaraz (The highest mountains of the Andes); Nazca (lines in the desert).

The best food of South America:
