Peru Introduction

Peru is located in the South American Continent, between the Equator and the tropic of Capricorn. It has borders with 5 other South American countries (Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Brazil & Bolivia)  and its only coast, on the west side of the country is on the Pacific Ocean.

Peru is considered one of the Mega Diverse countries of the world due to its diversity of species of flora and fauna. This is thanks to the diversity of ecosystems that the country hosts, from the pacific coast and The Andes, through to the Amazonian rain forest.
