Peru is the third largest country in

South America and has a population of
over 30 million. The capital city is Lima
and about a quarter of the country’s
population lives there. Peru has three
official languages: Spanish, spoken by
80% of the population, Quechua and
Aymara. However, in the Amazon jungle
regions there are many other different
dialects.
The Andes mountain range divides
Peru from north to south. The highest
mountain in Peru is Huascarán at 22,205
feet. Another important mountain in
Peru is Mismi, at 18,358 feet, which is
the source of the Amazon River. To the
west of the Andes is the costa, or coast.
It is a very dry area with many seasonal
rivers all along the coast. To the east is
the selva, or jungle. This area is covered

by the Amazon rainforest, and makes up
60% of the country.
Over five thousand years ago, the land
where Peru is today was home to the
Norte Chico civilisation. There were
about thirty population centres and it
was one of the oldest civilisations in
the world. Peru was also home to the
Inca empire in the 15th century. The
