Peru General Information

As known as “the land of the Incas”, it is in the west central part of South America, on the Pacific Ocean.

Peru has an area of 1´285,216 square kilometers. It is the third largest country in South America, behind only Brazil and Argentina. It is also considered a tropical country. The country has three well-defined regions: a narrow coastal strip, the wider zone of the Andes Mountains and the Amazon jungle.
The population of Peru, more than 28 million people, is of multiethnic origin, a mixture of the sizeable indigenous population and people from Europe, Africa and Asia. Its blend of cultural traditions is the result of wide diversity in fields such as the arts, literature, music and gastronomy. The country´s principal language is Spanish, though a significant number of Peruvians speak indigenous languages – speakers of Quechua and Aymara are the most numerous.
