Peru
The World Bank Group notes that Peru has a poverty rate of approximately 51%, with nearly 18% living on less than $1 a day and an additional 37% living on less than $2 a day. UNICEF reports that the average annual income per capita is $2360.
According to Lonely Planet, Peru has some of the most spectacular and varied scenery in South America. The Peruvian Andes are arguably the most beautiful on the continent and they issue a siren's call to world-class mountaineers and trekkers alike. These mountains are also home to millions of indigenous highlanders, who still speak the ancient tongue of Quechua and maintain a traditional way of life.
The Moon Travel Planner is another good source for exploring Peru while the CIA World Factbook offers quick references to Peruvian government and society.
