Peru covers 1,285,216 km2 (496,225 sq mi). It borders Ecuador
and Colombia to the north, Brazil to the east, Bolivia to the southeast, Chile
to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The Andes mountains run
parallel to the Pacific Ocean, dividing the country into three geographic
regions. The costa (coast), to the west, is a narrow plain, largely arid except
for valleys created by seasonal rivers. The sierra (highlands) is the region of
the Andes; it includes the Altiplano plateau as well as the highest peak of the
country, the 6,768 m (22,205 ft) Huascarán. The third region is the selva
(jungle), a wide expanse of flat terrain covered by the Amazon rainforest that
extends east. Almost 60% of the country's area is located within this region.
Peru, unlike other equatorial countries, does not have an exclusively tropical
climate; the influence of the Andes and the Humboldt Current cause great
climatic diversity within the country.
The Costa has moderate temperatures, low precipitations, and high humidity,
except for its warmer, wetter northern reaches.
In the Sierra, rain is frequent during summer, and temperature and humidity
diminish with altitude up to the frozen peaks of the Andes.
The Selva is characterized by heavy rainfall and high temperatures, except for
its southernmost part, which has cold winters and seasonal rainfall. Because of
its varied geography and climate, Peru has a high biodiversity with 21,462
species of plants and animals reported as of 2003; 5,855 of them endemic. The
Peruvian government has established several protected areas for their
preservation.
