About Peru
Peru is a country in western South America, bordered by the countries Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador as well as by the Pacific Ocean in the West. Due to its extreme biodiversity the habitats range from the Andes mountains to the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region to the tropical Amazon rainforest in the east.
The official language is Spanish, although different native languages, such as Quechua are spoken among many Peruvians. Peru was colonized in the 16th century by the Spanish Empire until it claimed and secured independence in 1824.
The currency is the ‘Peruvian sol’ (PEN) which is the Spanish word for ‘sun’. It is subdivided into 100 céntimos (‘cents’). One US dollar equals approximately 3.22 PEN (January 2018).
Known for its ancient cultures and oldest traces of civilizations in the Americas, the citadel of Machu Picchu is one of the most popular tourist destination in Peru. It belongs to the 7 new World Wonders and is best accessible by taking the Inca Rail with spectacular views of the Sacred Valley’s countryside.
Lima, the capital of Peru, also known as the City of Kings offers an insight into the old colonial history of the country and its way to independence. Other famous places in Peru include the city of Cusco, the Amazon jungle and the Rainbow mountains called Vinicuna.
