Peruvian Geography

Peru is along the western border of South America and the Pacific Ocean borders Peru for almost 1,500 miles and 2,414 kilometers. Peru might seem big but it is only five sixths of the size of Alaska. Peru has area that has mountains and some of the peaks are 20,000 feet high, but only 6,096 meters high.

Peruvian FoodsPeruvian food is a mixture of some very different types of food. It is a mixture of Amerindian and Spanish roots, but includes many other small parts of different cultures. It includes African, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese, cultural foods. Peruvian food may be in a different country but is still has some of the types of foods we eat. Peru is known for its food all throughout South America, but it is also known as a major fishing industry so Peruvian peoples have a good supply of fish. A few foods we eat are included in almost every dish of Peruvian food. Some of the foods are rice, potatoes, chicken, pork, fish, lamb, and a few most American people havent heard of are aji peppers. The peppers they use in different dishes are yellow and red aji peppers and some red rocoto peppers. All of the peppers are hot Peruvian peppers.

Peruvian FlagThe flag of Peru is red, white, green, turquoise, gold, brown, and yellow. The red on the flag stands for blood that was shed from Peruvian peoples while fighting for Peruvian independence. The white on the flag stands for peace. The difference between the flag of the country Peru and the state Peru is that the emblem is centered more into the middle of the flag on the countrys flag. The emblem is the same on both flags. The national anthem of Peru is the Marcha Nacional National March. The national anthem has been the same since at least 1822. 6
