GEOGRAPHIC
The country is really very interesting and it has enormous tourist potential. Peru is located in SOUTH OF AMERICA .The equator is located adjacent to the northern boundary of the country, but do not cross it, despite it goes about 5 kilometers north, into the territory of Colombia. Along the Pacific coast run the longest mountain chain in the world - the Andes. It occupies about 1/2 from the area of the country. Here you can find also the highest peak of Peru. This is the extinguished volcano of Huascaran.
The area of Peru is 1 285 220 sq. km. It has a population of approximately 28.5 million people.
CLIMATE
Peru gets into the borders of the equatorial, subequatorial andtropical climate zones. The influence of the Andes mountain chain is crucial. Their considerable altitude makes the passing of air masses over it almost imposible and so it is a climatic barrier. The climate is very dry in the narrow strip between the Pacific and the Andes, because the cold Peruvian stream creates quite insignificant rainfalls. Between the mountains and the ocean there are two types of climate
NATURE
The Andes Mountains runs parallel to Peru’s Pacific Ocean coastline, separating the country into three geographic regions: a narrow coastal plain to the west, the highlands in and around the Andes, and the Amazon rainforest to the east. The influence of the Andes and the Humboldt Current keep much of Peru cooler than it’s tropical equatorial neighbors. Because of its varied topography and climate, Peru has a high biodiversity that includes almost 6,000 endemic plant and animal species.
JUNGLE
Located in the east, this is a vast region of plains covered by vegetation in the Amazon River basin, which begins at the confluence of the Marañón and Ucayali rivers. It is Peru’s largest region, and consists of highland jungle, or ceja de montaña – the mountain’s eyebrows, (over 700 meters above sea level), which is characterized by its cloud forests, and lowland jungle (less than 700 meters above sea level). Like the sierra, the jungle has two distinct seasons.
