Peru is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow, dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest. In the high plains area in the southeast is Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world, on which boats can travel. Peru has plenty of plants from desert grasses to vast areas of jungle.
Once the centre of the powerful and extremely wealthy Inca Empire, much of South America was governed by Spain from the sixteenth century onwards. Peru finally gained its independence from Spain in 1821. The ancient Inca capital, Cusco, is a popular destination for tourists, because of its unique architecture and culture. The Inca Empire was very powerful and wealthy, and Cusco was the centre of the empire. The Inca built many stone walls, palaces and temples in Cusco. These buildings were made of huge stones.
