Now Peru has more than 25 million people.
The Coast of Peru is a straits region desert with some valleys in its phisical Geography with the principal cities of Peru like Lima, Arequipa, Trujillo, Piura, Chiclayo, Ica, etc.Their rivers come from the Sierra all of them.
About the Sierra was the higher region of Peru since 500 to 4800 metres under the sea's level with special vegetation and Animals like Alpaca, Lamas, for example. One of the principal cities is Cusco with Macchu Pichu with many weather depending the natural region that you are, for example is you are at 500 metres...

My hometown
Review of Lima by
shogun2
Advantages: Great City
Disadvantages: Many problems of the capital
...Since I was born I've lived at this city, the capital of Peru, that it was founded on January, 18 ,1535 by the Spanish people, it was founded by Francisco Pizarro and for this time its the capital of Peru. Today this city has 4 million of people more or less that it is more or less 26% of Peruvian Population. If you don't kwown Lima, it was on the Coast or Pacific Ocean in the centre of our Coast more or less. If you like visiting Lima in whole season is right, because there's no problem with the weather. In my own opinion I recomend you visit Miraflores and Barranco and the cultural part of Lima was on the Downtown of Lima the there are churches, cathedral, and many other things...

Incaredible!
Review of General: Peru by
ZooStephen
Advantages: Lots to see and do, friendly and historic
Disadvantages: cost and distance
...Peru is a fantastic country for a wide range of activities and attractions. The mountains are stunning; the people beautiful and generally very friendly; the wildlife amazing and the Inca sites truly spectacular.
Peru is a country that has something to offer for everyone, especially the adventurous traveller, or people looking for an experience of culture and history.
I would recommend staying in a range of accomodation and travelling by a variety of means, e.g. coach, train and plane plus boat trips in certain areas (e.g. the coast,Lake Titicaca and the amazon).
Not to be missed: Paracas and the seals off the coast; Arequipa; Nazca lines; Lake Titicaca; Cusco; Inca Trail and Machu Picchu; Amazon.
If your time is short go on an organised country tour (I travelled with Exodus on a three week trip - excellent!). It's not cheap...
