The heartland of the Incas, Peru is quite simply a travellers dream. It’s a land of dense jungles, lost cities, Andean peaks, urban beaches and ancient ruins. A visit to the breath-taking lost city of Machu Picchu is a must, and reaching it is an adventure in itself; either by train from the colonial gem of Cuzco or alternatively trekking along the famous Inca Trail, or the less-travelled alternative, the Lares. But Peru offers so much more. Spot exotic jungle wildlife in the mighty Amazon rainforest, explore the Taquille and Uros islands by reed canoe on Lake Titicaca, or get a birds-eye view of the mysterious Nazca lines from the sky. A land like no other, Peru encompasses the whole world in one country and is sure to live long in the memory.

Geography and Weather
Out of the 104 life zones identified in the world, 84 of them are found in Peru. Therefore, the country is considered as having one of the greatest biodiversities in the planet. Likewise, it is also characterized by having varied weather and a series of different geographic features. Three large geographic regions have been defined within this variety, which have been determined by the natural division of the Andes Mountain Range.
The Coast
The coast makes up 10,6% of the national territory (136 370 km²). It is formed by a wide desert stretch between the ocean and the mountains, and it is approximately 2 500 kilometers long (3 000 kilometers of coastline) and at the most, it is 100 kilometers wide. The dry coastal land is crossed by 53 fertile valleys. In these areas, temperatures rarely go below 12°C. The weather in the central and southern part of the coast is determined by cold currents, that is why it has an average of 300 days of sunshine a year and warm temperatures throughout the whole year (up to 35°C in the summer). The rainy season in the area is from November to March.
The Sierra or Highlands
The Sierra makes up 30,5% of the national territory (391 980 km²). The Andes Mountain range runs the entire length along the center of Peru from north to south. In this geographic region covering 392 000 km², there are two marked seasons: the dry season (from April to October) characterized by sunny days, cold nights and absence of rain, and the rainy season (from November to March). Temperatures normally vary between 24°C at noon and -3°C during the night. The main characteristic of the area is great altitude with an average height of 4 300 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.), while the highest peaks soar above 6 000 m.a.s.l.
The Jungle
The Jungle makes up 58,9% of the national territory (759 865 km²). The Amazon River basin shelters a vast region of tropical vegetation and the largest natural reserves in Peru can be found there. The Peruvian Jungle is divided into two quite different areas: the upper jungle (over700 m.a.s.l.) with subtropical climate, heavy rains between November and March and sunny days from April to October; and the lower Jungle, an ideal place for tourism with sunshine and high temperatures between April and October that often exceed 35°C.
