Fun fact: 80% of Peru's impressive biodiversity is in the tropical rainforest. Most know that but what is unique is that 80% of the diversity in Peru's rainforest areas occur in the cloud forest transition from the Andes toward the Amazon basin. The same elevation change that allows farmers to grow such a wide range of crops has also allowed incredible complexity in the natural food web over an incredible length of time.

Peru also has by far the longest and richest history of all the countries of South America.

This was even long before the Europeans( Spanish and Portuguese) conquered the continent.

The vast majority of Peruvian doesn't even have any chance to have a weekend trip to the Andes every week. For the vast majority, the challenge to visit the quechua and the yungas is just as big as the challenge of an average American to visit the quechua and the yungas. So in that sense yes the coastal desert does represent el Peru. The Andes is not a backyard that common Peruvian can go without hesitation, maybe in the future you'll reach that, but at least for the current condition no, it's still the City State de el Peru. Nevertheless if you rendomly pick a llama, there's more than half chance this llama is from the Andes. However, llamas don't have passport and for them there's no difference between Peru and Bolivia, and we care about humans not llamas.

You covered a great amount of physical geography facts! I know you purposely didn't go into more nuanced climate classification schemes, but some of the Andean climates are some of the rarest in the world. I think it's worth mentioning the desert climate on the coast is blessed with strong rivers running from the Andes, leading to Nile-like agricultural potential...so much so that wine production was banned during the colonial period as Peruvian planters could outproduce Spain. That led to pisco... I would have also emphasized the coastal desert fog more, as people are now harvesting water from it.

[@GeographyGeek]

All good stuff I could have mentioned. I came across a claim that Peru had the most microclimates in the world but I couldn't find another source backing up that claim so I left it out. I wasn't aware of the wine production ban, very interesting. I'll have to dive deeper into that.

They are our spirit animals. We also find ocean sharks in the waters around iquitos sometimes! Quite rare but has happened! I take people on quite exclusive tours, much better than the over priced tourist traps you'd otherwise find. If you ever make it here, I'd love to take you out for free! On a real river expedition.

I buy grapes at the supermarket that were grown in Peru. They are pretty good which is strange since Peru does not have a Mediterranean climate. My guess is they found a micro climate that matches the Mediterranean climate.

[@eltanquedecasma1184]

Peru does have lots of climates similar to the Mediterranean. Especially ‘Ica’. Peru produces tons of grapes as well as olives. In fact the national alcoholic beverage is pisco , which is made from grapes.

[@4rootof2isirrational]

Ya pisco is to Peru what wine is to Bordeaux in France. It is traditionally a medieval process of distillation brought over from Europe. The wine in Peru is terrible bit the Pisco is better than most spirits anywhere. Because of Peru's wet desert coast, meaning they have heavy fog with moisture which is most likely similar to traditional growing conditions- not unlike the coastal wine regions of California that get there moisture from the clouds also. Of course there is irrigation involved- hence the coastal river valleys the run all along the coast coming out of the Andes where water is usually quit abundant.

[@eduardodesouza5934]

@@4rootof2isirrational I'm from Portugal and Peruvian wine is much better than Chilean for example.

¡Peru has the richest sea in all the Americas! Based on Statista data quoted, the volume of global fish production has increased rapidly in the past nine years. In 2018, the volume of fish production reached 178.8 million tons, up 21 percent compared to 2010 which amounted to 148.1 million tons. Here are five countries which produce the largest fish in the world, summarized by Indian Stuffs: 1. China (58.8 million tons) 2. India (9.46 million tons) 3. Indonesia (6.10 million tons) 4. Peru (6.00 million tons) Peru has always occupied the top position in the world fisheries sector since 1960. In general, Peru is endowed with large fish resources because it has a coastline of up to 3,000 kilometers in addition to 12 thousand lakes and lagoons with more than 50 species. 5. USA (5.36 million tons) The United States is a developed country that excels in various commodities, including fisheries. Uncle Sam's country has the largest aquatic zone in the world up to 11.4 million square meters. This condition does not include the coastline on the east and west side which reaches 200 miles. Amid the decline in capture fish production, the US continues to encourage aquaculture to meet domestic and export needs.
