Peru has a population of about 34 million, with Spanish as the official language alongside Quechua and Aymara, which are spoken widely in the Andean regions. Its currency is the Peruvian Sol (PEN), and the climate varies from tropical in the Amazon Basin to dry along the coast and cold in the high Andes.
Visitors come to Peru for its deep history, breathtaking landscapes, and spiritual energy. You can walk through the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, sail on Lake Titicaca, explore the Sacred Valley, or wander the colonial streets of Cusco and Arequipa. Peruvian cuisine is world-renowned for its creativity and regional diversity, offering dishes like ceviche, lomo saltado, ají de gallina, and quinoa soups, often shared with a refreshing glass of chicha morada or pisco sour. The population is a blend of Indigenous, mestizo, African, and European heritage, and traditions come alive through music, weaving, dance, and festivals that honor the land and its ancestors.
