Peru

Peru's topography is strikingly diverse, shaped by the Andes mountain range that runs through the center of the country, splitting the landscape into three distinct regions: the coastal desert, the Andean highlands, and the Amazon basin. The coastal region is marked by arid, desert-like terrain, with dramatic cliffs and dunes along the Pacific Ocean. To the east, the Andes rise sharply, with towering peaks exceeding 20,000 feet, and plateaus such as the Altiplano that include high-altitude cities like Puno. The mountains create dramatic elevations, giving rise to varied microclimates, from freezing glacial zones to warmer, cloud-forests. On the eastern slopes, the land drops into the Amazon basin, a vast tropical rainforest filled with meandering rivers and dense vegetation. The geography not only influences the climate, leading to everything from humid jungle to alpine conditions, but it also shapes the culture and economy, with agricultural terraces and diverse ecosystems supporting life at every elevation.
