Setting A country of tremendous contrasts, Peru appeals equally to biologists, anthropologists, and adventurers.  Within its borders are 83 distinct ecological zones, from arid coastline to high mountain peaks to vast tropical rainforest.  Covering 60 percent of the nation’s territory, the Peruvian Amazon is among the most biologically rich regions in the world but is one of the least populated areas of the country.  Along with its amazing biological diversity, Peru offers a fascinating array of indigenous cultures and beautiful colonial cities.  Some cultural groups have adapted to life among the high plateaus and valleys of the Andes Mountains, living in cities and villages at more than 13,500 feet above sea level.  Hidden for centuries in the mountain ramparts, the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu tantalize visitors.  Modern-day descendents of the Inca maintain vibrant traditions, demonstrating the resourcefulness and tenacity that have allowed them to master the rugged landscapes of this fascinating country.
