Context of Peruu

Peruu on riik Lõuna-Ameerikas Vaikse ookeani rannikul. Põhjas ulatub territoorium peaaegu ekvaatorini (puudu jääb vaid 4,3 km) ning piirneb Ecuadori ja Colombiaga, idas on naaberiks Brasiilia, kagus Boliivia ning äärmises lõunatipus Tšiili. Kogu maad läbivad selgroona Andid. Peruu on mitmekülgne riik, mille elupaikade ulatus ulatub läänes Vaikse ookeani rannikuala kuivadest tasandikest kuni troopilise Amasoonia vihmametsani Amazonase jõega. Amazonase jõgi on 6872 km pikk ja ühtlasi ka maailma pikim jõgi. 1,28 miljoni km² suuruse pindalaga on Peruu maailmas suuruselt 19. riik ja Lõuna-Ameerikas suuruselt kolmas riik.

Suuremad linnad on Lima, Arequipa, Callao, Trujillo, Chiclayo ja Iquitos. Kagupiiril asuvat La Rinconada linna peetakse maailma kõrgeimaks (5100 m).
