1. Peru: Geography A brief overview of the three natural regions of Peru.Category Regional South America Peru Society and Culture......GEOGRAPHY Natural Regions. The highlands in Peru are generally considered to consistof two parallel ranges, the Cordillera Occidental and the Cordillera http://www.ddg.com/LIS/aurelia/pergeo1.htm

GEOGRAPHY: Natural Regions Three main natural regions are distinguishable: the coastal zone (Costa); the hoghlands (Andes or Sierra); and the eastern hills and lowlands (Selva). The coastal zone The Costa is an arid, mistly hilly region between the Pacific shore, much of which is bordered by high cliffs, and the Andes farther east. In the north, it is characterized by a low, extremly faulted plateau, a substantial part of which is an almost flat, arable land where water for irrigation is available. Because of the nature of the terrain and its aridity, settlement is almost enterely confined to river valleys and small sections of the coast, mostly near the mouths of rivers. A narrow coastal mountain range rises steeply just behind the Pacific shore in the southern part of the Peruavian coastal zone. It is composed mainly of a very rugged surface, much of which is covered by bare hard rocks with deeply incised narrow gorges. Troughlike basins running parallel to this range separate it from the Andes. These flat-bottomed basins are covered with a thick mantle of sediment in which rivers have cut deep valleys. Agricultural settlements that irrigate and cultivate small areas of these valleys are actually oases in this desertlike environment. Unlike other parts of the coastal belt, most of the population in the south resides along its eastern margins, away from the coast and close to the foot of the Andes. The Highlands: the Andes The highlands in Peru are generally considered to consist of two parallel ranges, the Cordillera Occidental and the Cordillera Oriental, extending in a northwest to southeast direction. Valleys and basins, which follow the same direction and in the south broaden into the Altiplano (with lake Titicaca and a few smaller lakes), are generally cited as the structural features that separate the western range from the eastern one. Both the western range and eastern ranges, with peaks rising over 20,000 feet are not continous, which are in most cases arranged in echelon. The high peaks and slopes are permanently snow-covered, with some remnants of glaciers. Volcanoes, active and dormant, are confined mainly to the southern part of the highlands.

8. Peru: Geography And Climate Geography. The country is divided into three distinct topographic and climaticregions The Jungle is the most extensive but least populated region of Peru. http://www.peruembassy-uk.com/GeneralInfo/geography.asp

Embassy of Peru in the United Kingdom Geography and Climate Geography The country is divided into three distinct topographic and climatic regions: The Costa, a narrow coastal area; the Sierra a mountainous central zone and; the Jungle the upper Amazon basin. The Costa is the center of the country's industrial, commercial and agricultural activity. Lima, the political and economic capital is located here and has more than seven million inhabitants. The coastal climate is hot in the north and temperate in the center and the south is characterised by a lack of rainfall. Summer is from December to March and winter from May to August. The highlands or Sierra consists of the Andes mountains; high plateaus and valleys that cover 27% of the land area. Depending on the altitude, the climate ranges from temperate to very cold, with rainfall exceeding 100 inches annually in some areas. In this region there are cities built at more than 11,500 feet (3,800 meters) above sea level; Puno on Lake Titicaca at 12,630 feet (3,850 meters) and Cerro de Pasco at 14,000 feet (4,302 meters).
