Peru
Peru, formerly known as Birú and Tawantinsuyu to the Incas, is a melting pot of cultures with over 51 Indigenous tribes and immigrants from Spain, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, and China.
This country is diverse in every way, with a range of 90 microclimates in various terrain such as the Andes mountain, Amazonian jungle, and The Sechura coastal desert. Peru has unique fauna and flora populations, creating bountiful waters with 33 species of mammals living around the coast. The soil is rich in volcanic silt carried out onto coastal plains by rivers flowing from the Mountainous Andes Valleys; Volcanic ash releases valuable nutrients, in turn growing over 3,500 different types of potato and 25,000 plant species, that’s 10% of all plant species!
