    Incredible facts about Peru, make it the most beautiful and incredible country in Latin America 🌎! - Peru is literally the mother of the Amazon, if you saw the iconic movie ANACONDA, you know that that movie was filmed in Peru, this country is the origin of the most important river in the world, if the Peruvian territory did not exist, the Amazon and much of the biodiversity of the World! - Origin of potatoes! Thanks to the Peruvian territory, everyone eats potatoes for lunch. Potatoes are of Peruvian origin and were domesticated by the Incas and were then taken by the Spanish to Europe and the entire world. Peruvian dishes with potatoes are thousands and very delicious. . -The third largest waterfall in the world is in Peru, it is called "The Three Sisters" and is more than 900 meters high! - the largest dune in the world is in Peru in "Cerro Blanco" with more than 2,000 meters high! Peru also has the only real oasis in the Americas "La Huachahina" in that same desert are the world famous Nazca lines! - The largest canyon in the Americas! In the Peruvian Andes is the largest canyon on the continent and second in the world, the "Aprimac Canyon" with almost 5,000 meters deep, triple the size of the Grand Canyon in the United States. - The most beautiful mountains, Peru has many unique rainbow mountains in the world, the snowy Alpamayo is incredible! - The only boiling river on earth, in the Amazon there is a river where you can parboil everything, this river is unique! This country is absolutely amazing! my favorite country in the whole world.

    Dear sir, It is an impressive video, and you do relatively well with rather difficult names/words to pronounce. However, Lima, the capital, is probably one of the easiest words to pronounce and you murdered the pronunciation for it. It is not Lima, like the citrus, but Lee-ma. If you were there, you should know.

    It's interesting that in Peru, the desert is on the coast and the rain forest is inland on the east side of the mountains. It's the opposite in the Pacific Northwest, where the rain forest is along the coast, and the Cascade range acts as a rain shadow blocking moisture from the Pacific, creating arid conditions on the inland, eastern side of the mountain range.

    Great video. I learned a lot from this. Since rivers always flows down I think it makes more sense to make the source of a river the highest point or the longest point, the biggest discharge does not make sense to me as a definition. Longest river should be considered in the length of a river, but highest point of a river as the source of it, though really most rivers like the Amazon has many sources.

    Get the Chinese to build a water diversion scheme to tap the huge Amazonian water supply for the Peruvian West Coast. A bit of pumping, intermediate storage lakes and long base tunnels will be needed to transfer the water through the mountains. Nothing the Peruvian with the help of the Chinese couldn't build. With today's technology and the knowledge of how to build megaprojects this diversion scheme could be build in decade. Turning the Peruvian West Coast into a fertile land.

    How deserted, flat, boring and unaesthetic the Peruvian coasts are. I think they should have shown the small coastal ravine of Lima (Barranco de Miraflores) located in the richest and upper class neighborhoods of all Peru, where they invest large economic resources and efforts to plant ornamental vegetation... although this is "false" in a certain way, because on the coasts of Lima, and in general of Peru, vegetation does not grow naturally because they are desert with an arid desert climate. It never rains in Lima, being the most desert capital in the world after Cairo, Egypt.
