Peru, home to over 34 million inhabitants, is a country full of diverse landscapes and unforgettable experiences.
While Spanish is the main language, Peru is home to over 50 indigenous groups, each with their own language.
Peruvian people have a strong sense over community. Peruvians are also resilient and resourceful, adapting to diverse environments, from the high Andes mountains to the Amazon rainforest.
Peru is known for its diverse and flavourful cuisine, influenced by its Indigenous, Spanish, African, and Asian heritage, with dishes like ceviche (fresh marinated fish) and lomo saltado (stir-fried beef).
Peru is the birthplace of the potato, with over 4,000 varieties grown across the country.
