Andes and Amazon destination information

More information about Peru North as an expedition destination

Peru sits on the Pacific coast of South America, it has three main environments: the vast Amazonian lowlands, the Andes mountains and a narrow strip of coastal plain which runs down the west of the country. Each of these environments has its own distinct climate and during a four-week expedition it is common to experience a range of different conditions - from the heat and humidity of the jungle to freezing temperatures in the Andes!
