Description: Peru stands out in the Americas for its geographic and cultural diversity. Its coastal desert is punctuated by fertile valleys once inhabited by pre-Incan civilizations and leads eastward to the foothills of the Andes.

Peru is home to over 20 unique Amazonian peoples, in addition to its coastal and highland cultures. Amidst this cultural richness, just east of the Andes, lies one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world, the Peruvian Amazon.
