Peru is the third largest country in South America and extends
significantly along the Pacific Ocean. The country is bordered by five
other South American gems: Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile.
Peru is a vibrant and unique country and is made up of three distinct
regions. The first is the central high sierra of the Andes mountain range
which is the best known amongst world travellers. The Andes mountain range
is home to many pre-Columbian cities in South America, the most
fascinating of which is Machu Picchu - The great city of clouds. The
second is Peru's lowland coastal region, an extension of the Atacama
Desert. Three of Peru's most popular and populated towns: Lima, Trujillo
and Chiclayo are located along this arid coastline. Peru's third and most
inaccessible region is made up of dense forests which surround the waters
of the Amazon and the eastern slopes of the Andes. This region is only
accessible by boat up the Amazon and is usually only visited by the most
adventurous spirit.
