About Peru

Andean peaks surround Machu Picchu; lush tropical rainforests, Amazonian jungles, sandy beaches, arid deserts, remote farmland and fishing villages make up the Peruvian landscape. Likewise, Peru’s cuisine is rich in variety and has influences from Spanish, Chinese, European, African, and Japanese cultures. Peru’s people are also diverse: Quechua Indian—descendants of the Incas—mestizos (part-Indian and part-European) and people of Spanish ancestry.
