Interesting facts about Peru
Peruvian top tourist attractions

While travelling to all corners of Peru, I have discovered diverse landscapes, such as: rainforests, beaches, deserts, mountains, swamps, with a climate that is just as diverse. One may find 23 °C in one place, and 35°C one hour away, as well as 8°C in an area that is three hours away and so on.

Among a population of over 28 million people, few Peruvians have heard of Romania, and those who know anything about it either refer to it as «Dracula’s country» or know that is situated in Europe (close to France) because the architect Gustave Eiffel left a prominent signature in Peru through his constructions.

Even though I live in Miraflores, the most luxurious and safe district of Lima, which is the capital of Peru, I have also come to discover poor areas where I was impressed with the hospitable locals and with their outstanding common sense.

European population predominates in the rich neighborhoods of Lima, such as Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro. In the coastal town of Chincha, which is famous for the Afro-Peruvian music, there are overwhelmingly many Peruvians with African roots, due to past slave trade.
