About Peru

Before we delve into getting all the details on how Nigerians can get a visa to Peru, it is crucial to understand some information about the country first of all.

Peru is a country located in the Southern part of America, which is home to a part of the Amazon rain forest and Machu Picchu, an old Incan city that sits high on the Andes mountains. The capital of Peru is Lima, located on the arid Pacific coast. Lima has a well-kept colonial center and vital collections of pre-Columbian art.

Peru is a country full of variety, and its major economic activities are agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and fishing. The multiple ethnic groups in Peru give it an estimated population of 32.51 million (in 2019), including Europeans, Amerindians, Africans, and Asians.
