Peru

My husband Alan is from Peru. Before I met him I did not know so much about South America and which countries we have there. However, he told me so many stories about history of Peru and what you can do it there. Here is something that Alan taught me about Peru, but I hope that we will go this winter there so I can see it too. Peru, the famous home of the Incas is one of the most intriguing countries of South America. The Republic of Peru is located in western South America. Peru limit with Colombia and Ecuador on the north, Brazil is located to the east, and Chile is to the south. The narrow plains are located on the coast of Peru toward the Pacific Ocean. This area's temperature ranges from 66 to 73 degrees Fahrenheit (Weil, 40-41). The highlands are located in the central region of Peru. This is the region where the Andes Mountains are found. Rain seldom falls below the five thousand foot level on the slopes of the Andes Mountains (Weil, 40-41). The temperature is very high in the summer time in the highlands region. He told me so many stories about Macchu Picchu, the lost city of Incas, and I would like to go to see it.
