    Peru extends for nearly 1,500 mi along the Pacific Ocean, in western South America. To the North is Colombia and Ecuador, to the East is Brazil and Bolivia, and the south is Chile. Five-sixths the size of Alaska, Peru is divided by the Andes Mountains by three separate zones (Peru, Infoplease). The sacred city of Caral-supe, a few hours north of Lima, is speculated to be the oldest site engaged by humans discovered in the Americas. Its 1,546-acre site dates back 5,000 years, and is now considered one of the 7 Great Wonders. Peru is in the tropical Andes, which happens to contain about a sixth of all plant life in less than one percent of the world's land area (71 interesting facts about Peru). Roughly one-third of the entire Peruvian population lives in the capital, Lima resulting in overpopulation and poverty. Over half live in urban squatter settlements often occupied without lease or rent. They are known as pueblo's jóvens or young towns. In America they might be close to Hooverville's. This happens when uninhabited land is selected and invaded by a group of settlers some even overnight. The basic housing is commonly made of light reed matting. More-permanent structures are built gradually when the family can…

They are one of the very few countries in the entire world that actually can say that they have two different capital cities. The reasons behind this sort of split are, obviously, quite important because it was the result of some very serious wars and battles which forced the government to change hands and go their separate ways in the end. Sucre and La Paz will famously go down in history as two of the more important cities in the history of the beautiful country of…
