Peru (i/pəˈruː/; Spanish: Perú [peˈɾu]; Quechua: Piruw [pɪɾʊw];Aymara: Piruw [pɪɾʊw]), officially the Republic of Peru (Spanish:
República del Perú ), is a country in western South America. It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru is an extremely biodiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains vertically extending from the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon Basin rainforest in the east with the Amazon river.
Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization in Caral, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty with its capital in Lima, which included most of its South American colonies. Ideas of political autonomy later spread throughout Spanish America and Peru gained its independence, which was formally proclaimed in 1821. After the battle of Ayacucho, three years after proclamation, Peru ensured its independence. After achieving independence, the country remained in recession and kept a low military profile until an economic rise based on the extraction of raw and maritime materials struck the country, which ended shortly before the war of the Pacific. Subsequently, the country has undergone changes in government from oligarchic to democratic systems. Peru has gone through periods of political unrest and internal conflict as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.

Esperanza and Teodula were sterilised without consent more than 18 years ago and are still searching for justice in rural Peru. The Quipu project - www.quipu-project.com - is their phoneline that allows victims across the country to share their shocking testimonies. These are the unwillingly sterilised women fighting for justice in Peru. They are just two of the 300,000 Peruvians affected by the Family Planning Program promoted by Alberto Fujimori’s government in the mid-90s in Peru, which mostly targeted impoverished, rural, indigenous people. Despite several attempts to bring those responsible to justice, the crime of the forced sterilisations remains unpunished and there are still many Peruvians that denied it ever happened. Esperanza and Teodula, together with other affected women, a...

Protesters have marched across Peru's capital Lima calling for an end to violence against women and the impunity they say is enjoyed by those who attack them. The movement attracted a large following on social media after two prominent cases were filmed and widely circulated. Yet the attackers received only light sentences.

EM4524 HEADLINE: Death toll climbs past 500 in Peru CAPTION:Peru's president is calling on desperate survivors of an earthquake that killed at least 510 people to remain calm as his government struggles to provide aid. (Aug. 17) 2007 [Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] Rescue crews in Peru are picking through tons of rubble looking for survivors and victims from Wednesday's powerful earthquake. The death toll has topped 500 and officials say they expect that number to continue to climb as they go through the wreckage. That task though will take some time to complete as officials say the magnitude 8.0 quake destroyed 85 percent of one major city and left many other smaller communities in ruins. Searchers are also going through the rubble of a church that was destroyed that was packed with hundre...
Spanish/Nat A group of Peruvian shamans have arrived at the site of a recent plane crash south of Lima to call on the spirits of the sea to return the unrecovered bodies of the victims. The witch doctors brought offerings of flowers, food and incense to appease the spirits which they think are holding up the souls of the dead and the remaining bodies. An Aeroperu Boeing 757 crashed into the ocean two weeks ago killing all 70 people aboard. So far only 14 bodies have been recovered. A group of 20 shamans gathered at Ancon beach 50 kilometres south of Lima Monday to carry out their mission. They marched to the shore carrying flags from various countries. The shamans gathered to travel to the site of the recent plane crash from Aeroperu which killed all 70 people a...
Peru – a land of extremes and intrigue – principally known for being home to the most important archaeological site in all of the Americas, offers in reality so much more. Its landscapes range from high Andean peaks, to sultry Amazon rainforests, from high altitude deserts and wild windswept coasts. Of course its great to travel with the Incas from Cusco to the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu, but its also possible to get off the beaten track, to explore remote ruins of the cloud warriors in the north, or afro-Peruvian beats along the pacific coast. Most of all it’s a diverse country that offers something for everyone. But for many, a trip to Peru will begin in Cusco. As the ancient Inca capital, and the political power base in colonial times, Cusco has its fair share of sites. Sitting in a na...

In Cusco, and the Sacred Valley, magnificent ruins await the adventurous traveler. The most famous of all is Machu Picchu. Cusco is the former capital of the Inca Empire of the Sun. Since the 16th century, Spanish colonial buildings were built atop former Inca Palaces, of which only the foundations remain. Examples in the central Plaza de Armas are the Cusco Cathedral and La Compañia church. Another striking example is Qorikancha, the former golden courtyard of the Temple of the Sun. The Spanish used stones from Sacsayhuaman, an Inca stronghold overlooking the city. In the Urubamba Valley, or Sacred Valley, visitors can see the mysterious Moray Terraces and the pre-Inca Salt Mines of Maras. Ollantaytambo is a living Inca city and its towering ruins form the start of the Inca Trail to Ma...
