Peru Spanish: Perú, Quechua: Perú,Aymara: Piruw,
officially the Republic of Peru Spanish: República del Perú, pronounced,
is a country in western South America. It is bordered on the north by
Ecuador and Colombia, on the east by Brazil, on the southeast by
Bolivia, on the south by Chile, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.
Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions.
Its geography varies from the arid plains of the Pacific coast to the
peaks of the Andes mountains and the tropical forests of the Amazon
Basin. Its main economic activities include agriculture, fishing,
mining, and manufacturing of products such as textiles.
Peruvian culture is primarily rooted in Amerindian and Spanish
traditions, though it has also been influenced by various African,
Asian, and European ethnic groups. Peruvian artistic traditions date
back to the elaborate pottery, textiles, jewelry, and sculpture of
Pre-Inca cultures. The Incas maintained these crafts and made
architectural achievements including the construction of Machu Picchu.
Most Peruvian rivers originate in the peaks of the Andes and drain into
one of three basins. Those that drain toward the Pacific Ocean are steep
and short, flowing only intermittently. Tributaries of the Amazon River
are longer, have a much larger flow, and are less steep once they exit
the sierra. Rivers that drain into Lake Titicaca are generally short and
have a large flow. Peru's longest rivers are the Ucayali, the Marañón,
the Putumayo, the Yavarí, the Huallaga, the Urubamba, the Mantaro, and
the Amazon.
Peru, unlike other equatorial countries, does not have an exclusively
tropical climate; the influence of the Andes and the Humboldt Current
cause great climatic diversity within the country. The costa has
moderate temperatures, low precipitations, and high humidity, except for
its warmer, wetter northern reaches. In the sierra, rain is frequent
during summer, and temperature and humidity diminish with altitude up to
the frozen peaks of the Andes. The selva is characterized by heavy
rainfall and high temperatures, except for its southernmost part, which
has cold winters and seasonal rainfall. Because of its varied geography
and climate, Peru has a high biodiversity with 21,462 species of plants
and animals; 5,855 of them endemic. The Peruvian government has
established several protected areas for their preservation.
