Peru, located in South America, is a country rich in history, culture, and biodiversity.
The legacy of the Inca Empire, which ruled over Peru from the 15th to the 16th century, is evident in the breathtaking ruins of Machu Picchu. This archaeological wonder, nestled high in the Andes Mountains, offers a glimpse into the advanced engineering and spiritual beliefs of the Incas.
Peru's vibrant culture is a captivating tapestry woven with indigenous traditions and Spanish colonial influences. Festivals such as Inti Raymi celebrate ancient sun worship, while music played on traditional Andean instruments echoes through the streets. Peruvian cuisine, known for its fusion of flavors and use of indigenous ingredients, tantalizes the taste buds with dishes like ceviche and lomo saltado.
Peru's varied landscapes house a treasure trove of biodiversity. The Amazon rainforest, covering a significant portion of the country, teems with life; from colourful birds to elusive creatures like jaguars. In the Andes, llamas and alpacas roam the high-altitude plains, providing wool for traditional textiles and along the coastal deserts, seabirds like condors soar overhead, while marine life thrives in the Pacific waters.
