by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in
the west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru is a megadiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains
of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains vertically extending from
the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon Basin rainforest in the east with the
Amazon river. At 1.28 million km2, Peru is the 19th largest country in the world, and the third largest

Capital: Lima Language: Spanish ( Hello – Hola) Currency: Sol Weather: The combination of tropical latitude, mountain ranges, topography variations, and two
ocean currents (Humboldt and El Niño) gives Peru a large diversity of climates. The coastal region has
moderate temperatures, low precipitation, and high humidity, except for its warmer, wetter northern
reaches. In the mountain region, rain is frequent in summer, and temperature and humidity diminish
with altitude up to the frozen peaks of the Andes. The Peruvian Amazon is characterized by heavy
rainfall and high temperatures, except for its southernmost part, which has cold winters and seasonal
rainfall.
