I would like to write about my country, Peru. It is located in South America in the tropical zone near the Equator line, it bordered in the North by the Equator, in the North – East by Colombia, in the East by Brazil and Bolivia, in the south by Chile and in the West by Pacific ocean. The Andes Mountains pass through it and divide it into three main regions: the coast, the highland and the jungle.

Peru has a lot of variety in weather, landscape, cuisine, animals, and plants. It also has history, and for this reason it has many archaeological places to visit. Machu Picchu is located in Cusco; considered iconic in Peru and one of the wonders of the world, it is visited by many tourists every year. It was the centre of the Incas Empire from where they spread across South America. Other archaeological places that are visited by tourists are “The Nazca Lines”, “Chan Chan”, “Chavin de Huantar”, etc. Also, it has beautiful landscapes like “Titicaca Lake”, “Huacachina”, “Llanganuco Lake”, “Paracas National Reserve” where the tourists can enjoy extreme sports like climbing and buggy jumping.

Nowadays, Peruvian cuisine is famous in the world, with many varieties of dishes like “Ceviche”, which is a traditional dish prepared with fish, lemon and onion. Another traditional dish is “Carapulca Chinchana” that is a kind of dish from the south part of the country. “Picante de Cuy” and “Pachamanca” are kinds of dishes typical of the highlands. Also, Peru has many traditional drinks like “Pisco Sour”, “Chicha Morada”, “Chicha de Jora”, “Inka Kola”, in the Peruvian jungle you can find many varieties of drinks made from native plants.

Peruvian people will be glad to offer you their hospitality if you come to visit us.
