The Republic of Peru (Spanish: República del Perú [re'pu.βli.ka del pe'ɾu]), is a country in western South America, bordering Ecuador and Colombia to the north, Brazil to the east, Bolivia to the south-east, Chile to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west.

 

Peru was the cradle of the Inca empire, and later the seat of the Viceroyalty of Peru which had jurisdiction over all of Spanish South America. It is the home of many indigenous ethnic groups.
