Peru is a country of extremes and diversity, 16 biomes with 12 life zones in the Atlantic Slope and 16 in the Pacific are home of 1800+ species of birds, 47 species of primates, 4,000 species of butterflies, 2,500 of wild orchids just to show a few numbers. Only 3% of the country is usable for plantation but 66% of the territory account for forest and woodlands and 76 natural protected áreas preserve almost 20% of the national territory in a great diversity of habitats such as Lowland Amazon, Andean Mountain Ranges, Peruvian Coastal Desert, Cloud and Elfin forest. Almost every possible hábitat has also great examples of cultural heritage, since archeological sites of global importance such as Nazca Lines, Machu Picchu, Chan-chan as well as living cultures as quechuas in the Andes as true inheritors of the Incas or the amazonian Matsiguenka in the lowland rainforest, no one knows as much as ethno-botanic medicine and use of psychotropics like a Matsiguenka.
