Spanish In Peru

Perú borders with Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile and the Pacific Ocean. The country has three distinct regions, a narrow coastal belt (along the Pacific Ocean), the wide Andean mountains and the Amazon rainforest.

Although the coastal belt is a desert, that is where most of the population lives. Perú is renowned as the land of the Incas, but many great pre-Columbian civilizations flourished.

Visitors can see the ancient ruins of the Inca capital of Cusco, explore the lost city of Machu Picchu as well as ruins from a variety of other cultures including the Nazca and the Moche.
