The western south American region is home to this beautiful country called Peru. Bordered by Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil and Chile, Peru is known as an amazingly biodiverse country rich in natural wonders. According to reports, there are over 21,462 species of plants and animals on the entire stretch of the country. Not only a nature’s favourite, Peru is also equally rich in cultural inheritance. Ancient cultures like the Norte Chico civilization in Caral and the famous Inca empire saw its birth and growth in this magical land. One of the world’s oldest human habitats, the earliest evidence of human presence in Peru dates back to approximately 9000 BC!
