11 PERU: PHISIOGRAPHY AND ECONOMICAL POTENTIAL

12 Peru is located in the central and western part of South America. Its geography is one of the most complex due to the presence of Peruvian Andes mountain chain which divides the territory into three regions (Coast, highlands and jungle) whose weather, vegetation and culture are distinctive. The Andes mountain chain is 7240 km in length, 41 km in width and 6600 m the highest peak.
