Peru

The country is divided into three regions: Costa (Coast), Sierra (Highlands) and Selva (jungle). Although this simple division reflects the overall appearance of Peru’s geography, the reality is much more ricah and complex: in Peru, nature appears to take particular characteristics that make their massive mountains, plains, jungles and valleys into unique habitats. An extraordinary variety of ecosystem houses the most diverse plant and animals.
