Peru's Geography is CRAZY

In my opinion, there are few countries with physical geography as remarkable as Peru’s.

Take a look at this exaggerated relief map. The Andes mountains cover the western side of the country, leaving little room between them and the ocean. Yet this strip of land is where Peru’s largest cities are located. Such as Lima, which has more than 10.5 million people in its metropolitan area.

I used to have a Peruvian housemate. She made the best food! A real sweetheart too. She was just a good person. Love to go to Peru some day...

Peru is my favorite country in the world, so beautifully! a country with so much diversity, heritage. Not to talk of wildlife, deserts, snow laden mountains, lakes, ancient temples, largest chaotic cities, serene valleys. Can’t think if any other country has all. NO.
Have seen most of South America except Venezuela. It, s pity, so much to see there. Peru in on the top of my list though.

I hiked to a ruin in Peru called Choquequirao. It was incredible and the climate was so diverse. Sometimes it felt like walking through a desert, and then immediately like walking through a jungle. The fact that these trails were surrounded by snow-capped peaks just blew my mind

How to forget when South Park dedicated a special of 2 episodes to this country in "PANDEMIC" and "PANDEMIC 2 The Startling" supposedly the Peruvian culture is invading the United States with its guinea pigs and its music, a fact in Latin America the episodes they called them "PERUDEMIC" or "PERUDEMIA" .. I think that South Park was visionary with Peru, since now the Peruvian restaurants are in full expansion in the US! example in Miami they are the best, even the largest Mall has a giant Peruvian restaurant at the entrance .
I am Mexican and Peru is a fascinating and unique country.

Fun fact: 80% of Peru's impressive biodiversity is in the tropical rainforest. Most know that but what is unique is that 80% of the diversity in Peru's rainforest areas occur in the cloud forest transition from the Andes toward the Amazon basin. The same elevation change that allows farmers to grow such a wide range of crops has also allowed incredible complexity in the natural food web over an incredible length of time.

I'm Brazilian and I dream of going to peru someday

Peru is really beautiful, i remember being obsessed with "Tintin and the Temple of the Sun" I'm a fan of Tintin! hahahah It was confirmed that by 2027 Steven Spielberg would be premiering the movie about the Book of Tintin in Peru! sooo excited! This country is more famous and relevant than you think.

Man, Peru has all the craziest extremes a country can have. What a beautiful country that I hope to visit. Its ecosystem is so diverse too.

Peru is where the real magic is found. First trip was in 2005 and returned in 06, 07, 14 and 16 :)

Peru is the kind of place you can go to 100 times and have 100 completely new experiences

[ResearchNational]

My wife is Peruvian so we and our two boys have been there 10 times. We see something new every time and it never gets old.

🎶I have sailed the world
Beheld it's wonders
From the Dardanelles
To the mountains of *_PERU_*
But there's no place like London
No, there's no place like London🎶

🎶You are young
Life has been kind to you
You will learn 🎶

🎶There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it
And it's morals aren't worth what a pig can spit
And it goes by the name of London
At the top of the hole sit a privileged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo
Turning beauty to filth and greed
I too have sailed the world and seen it's wonders
For the cruelty of men is as wondrous as *_PERU_*
But there's no place like London 🎶

*_Ever since I heard about Peru in one of the best movies in history (Sweeney Todd) I have been fascinated with that country_* !!
*_Why would I mention it as one of the greatest wonders of the world?_*

As a Chilean who has travelled quite a bit, I can confirm Peru is something else - it’s magical, different, and their geography feels a bit surreal. One of my favourite destinations by far. Their food and culture second to none!

[cassandrapalaciodavalos]

¡OMG PERU! No one will talk about the wonderful video games they created about this country, I know the country thanks to my boyfriend and his obsession with Lara Croft Lol... in the video game
"Shadow of the Tomb Raider" PS4 the graphics about Peru are wonderful, the story is fascinating and the landscapes of the Peruvian jungle are epic, the end of the game is incredible with Inca gods.
