(Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington. I). C.} Peru, which has been celebrating the hundredth anniversary of Its in dependence from Spain, in the pres ence of commissioners officially repre senting the United Slates and other nations, Is fur enough out of the beaten path of most North Americans to be hut vaguely known to them. It Is often thought of, no doubt, as a little republic clinging to the sides of the lofty Andes lest It slip and be loRt In the Pacific. But in area and Interest Peru is by no means neg ligible; and If It has failed to take an >ni|tortant place In world affairs, either Commercial or political, it may well he that that fact Is due, not to lack of size and resources and poten- i tlal wealth and power, but rather to Immaturity. Peru flas every climate under heaven, together with ninny of the | products and conditions that go with 'hem. It lias the sand dunes of the j Sahara; the fertile, sun-bathed, Irrl- j gated valleys of California; the dry! grazing lands of Australia ; the pro- I duetive mountain valleys and uplands of Kashmir; the bleak plateaus of Tibet; the snowy peaks of Switzer land; and tlie tropical jungles of Cen tral Africa and Brazil. And off its shores, tropical In latitude hut mild In temperature, the waters, so cold that often they are uncomfortable for bath ing, are alive with the sea life of the near-untarctlc. Much of Peru Is occupied by the towering Andes, with few passes less than 15,000 feet high, and with numer ous peaks exceeding 21,000 feet. These great ramparts are chiefly re sponsible for the diversity of Pent’s climatic conditions. They precipitate the moisture of the Atlantic winds ami so create the tropical Jungles that stretch from their bases toward the Interior of the continent; thrust slopes and plateaus up Into the cool regions of the upper air; and cut off the Pa cific coast section from the moisture laden winds, making much of It a desert. Coact Strip Has Rivers but No Rain. Although the strip of Peru between the Pacific and the western foothills of the Andes Is devoid of rain and largely desert, many streams from the mountains break across this region to the Hen. and the relatively narrow vul leys. Irrigated from their waters, con stitute the most fertile land of the country. Most of the desert land between the parallel rivers Is not so from lack of fertility but because of the absence of life-giving water. This Is n most unusual region lying within the tropics and adjoining the sea. where normal ly vegetable growth would he abund ant. If It could be viewed front a distance of a thousand miles through a telescope It would probably appear much as the supposed canals of Mars have been described as appearing to some observers—dark, roughly parallel lines of vegetation on a drab, verdure less background. Some of the bench lands hnve been reclaimed for consid erable distances from tlie rivers, and projects have been considered to Im pound the waters that rush down from the melting Andean snows and bring under cultivation practically the whole coast region. Peru has an area of about 700,000 square miles and Is therefore only ■lightly smaller than Mexico and well over n quarter the size of the United States exclusive of Alnska. If Pent could he laid down on the surface of the United States so that Its southern most point coincided with the south ernmost projection of Texas Its north eastern corner would lie near Peoria, III., and Its northwestern extremity near Cheyenne, Wyo. The rough tri angle would cover practically all of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, half of Nebraska, parts of Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa nnd South Dakota, and fragments of New Mexico and Wyoming. Where the Inca* Flourished. Just as the United States was set tled from the Atlantic coast and de veloped first Its coastal strip, leaving as un unknown region for generations the country to the west beyond Its mountains and deserts, so Pent has developed In the reverse direction. The European conquerors of Its Inca empire entered the country from the Pacific coast, and It la ulong this atrip of coast land that European blood and culture have made themselves most i strongly felt. To the east rise the three towering ranges of the Andes, their slopes, ; [leaks and Intervening valleys and j plateaus constituting the “Sierra,” the second of the three great geographic divisions of Peru. In this lofty region the Inca civilization held sway with a marvelously intricate but efficient governmental machine, before the Spanish came. Cuzco, the capital of the Inca empire, was situated In a fer tile, protected valley of the Sierra re gion. and remains today one of the Important Peruvian tojyns. Its popu- j Intion now, however, Is only 15,000, | about one-tenth that of the city when It was the Babylon of the western hemisphere. In the almost Inaccessible country to the northwest of Cuzco, and less than 50 miles distant, hidden away among the mountains, was Muchu Plcchu, the secret city where the forerunners of the Incas, almost destroyed by bar barians, nursed their civilization and culture for centuries before going out Into the valleys and founding their great empire. Tlds old city, whose existence had been only a tradition for hundreds of years, was discovered In 1911 and uncovered In 1912 by ex peditions of the National Geographic society and Yale university. The Sierra, or region of mountains vnlleys and plateaus. Is still the land of the lieirs of the Incas. In tills por tion of Peru lives the largest single element in the population, the civil ized Indians, descendants of the IncRS. Though the population of Peru Is not known accurately. It is estimated to be about 5,000.000. The Indians of the Sierra number close to 2.000,000. Immense Mineral Resources. In the Peruvian Sierra, too. are the mining developments. Peru’s mineral resources are almost Inexhaustible. Gold and silver are the minerals on which most emphasis was placed by the Spaniards. Fortunes In both were removed from the country, hut rich deposits reninlii. In recent years cop per has led other minerals In the value of production. The copper mines at Cerrc de Pusco are among the richest In the world. Almost every mineral substance known Is believed to have been compounded In nature’s great Andean laboratory. The list of prod ucts from Peruvian mines covers much of the alphabet from antimony to vanadium. Of great Importance are the petroleum wells of the northern coast, whose production Is next In value to the country’s copper output. To the east of the Andes, cut off from the more developed portion af the qountry, lies the third geographical division, the region known as the Montana. Peru's land of the future. This part of the republic Is made up of the wooded landward slopes of the Andes, grassy foothills, and the heavy little-known Jungles and forests that spread out to the east for a thousand miles or more along the broad valley of the Amazon and Its tributaries. Be cause of the heuvy rainfall the growth of vegetation In this part of Peru Is believed to be ns heavy as anywhere else In the world. Even at midday In some of the forests the light Is no brighter than at twilight In open country. In a glade, with dense vegetation on all sides, one feels that he has been dropped down Into the bottom of a deep green-lined pit. Tbe country on the eastern slopes of the Andes and on the foothills be fore the dense forest Is reached has been settled very sparsely; but over thousands of square miles of the Jungle the foot of civilized man has never trod. A few tribes of uncivil ized Indians roam through these for est depths. Many large rivers rising on the east ern slopes of the Andes, flow across the Montana region of Peru, Into Bra zil, and finally find their way into the Atlantic 2,000 miles away, through the mighty Amazon. Ocean vessels ascend the Amazon to Iqultos, the metropolis of eastern Peru, nearly 200 miles with in Peruvian territory; and by river boats the Journey may he continued to within 200 miles of the Pacific. Along many of the rivers In eastern Peru are towns of some Importance, which are the outposts of Peruvian civilization, commerce and government In this Iso lated trans-Andean empire.
