Peru, located on the northwest side of South America, has eight natural (geographical) regions based on altitude and climate.

Region 2 (Yungas) The Yungas region has altitudes of 1600 to 5000 feet above sea level. It includes the forest along the eastern slopes of the Andes mountains with an extremely diverse climate, flora, and fauna. This photo shows farmlands in the low, central Andes of Peru.

Region 4 (Suni) Region 4, the Suni region, has altitudes of 11,500 to 13,500 feet. This region is dry and cold. Lake Titicaca and its surroundings are in this region. This photo shows the Palcamayo valley in the High Central Andes.

Region 5 (Puna) Region 5, the Puna region has altitudes of 10,500 to 14,800 feet. It includes the altiplano or pampas (vast high plains) where puna grass grows. This photo shows the altiplano along the spine of the High Central Andes.

Region 7 (Rupa) The Rupa region has altitudes of 1600 to 2300 feet. It includes the high jungle areas on the eastern side of the Andes Mountains. This is a photo of the jungle near the town of Tarapoto.

Region 3 (Quechua) The Quechua region has altitudes of 7500 to 11,500 feet. It includes big valleys divided by rivers. The famous Inca cities of Cusco (on the left) and Machu Picchu (on the right) are in this region.
