    Peru extends for nearly 1,500 mi along the Pacific Ocean, in western South America. To the North is Colombia and Ecuador, to the East is Brazil and Bolivia, and the south is Chile. Five-sixths the size of Alaska, Peru is divided by the Andes Mountains by three separate zones (Peru, Infoplease). The sacred city of Caral-supe, a few hours north of Lima, is speculated to be the oldest site engaged by humans discovered in the Americas. Its 1,546-acre site dates back 5,000 years, and is now considered one of the 7 Great Wonders. Peru is in the tropical Andes, which happens to contain about a sixth of all plant life in less than one percent of the world's land area (71 interesting facts about Peru). Roughly one-third of the entire Peruvian population lives in the capital, Lima resulting in overpopulation and poverty. Over half live in urban squatter settlements often occupied without lease or rent. They are known as pueblo's jóvens or young towns. In America they might be close to Hooverville's. This happens when uninhabited land is selected and invaded by a group of settlers some even overnight. The basic housing is commonly made of light reed matting. More-permanent structures are built gradually when the family can…

Physical features as the mysterious amazon river, the vast Andes mountains, and very lush rainforest are all major creations that have changed the world. Many of the rainforests in south America haven’t been explored. What if there was millions of creatures yet to be known in these lands, or cure for cancer. What do you think?…

    Senior Geography Project

    In the weeks leading up to being given the Senior Geography Project, my home got robbed while I was at school. At first I was interested in looking into ‘Break and Enters’, but with further investigation and discussion with my teacher, Mrs Donelly, we decided it would be a great idea to research and investigate across the whole board of crime. I have chosen to pick Broadmeadow for the area, as whilst I got robbed, many other community members got robbed on the same day, by the same person. This area seems relevant to my investigation and should provide some interesting results. The area is also very close to home, so I wouldn’t need to go out of my way to get to the place needed for investigating. The three aims that I have chosen all relate back to the robbery that took place in my home. I want to investigate if this was just coincidence or if this is happening across the whole board. I also want to investigate the security measures people have put into place to counter this criminal activity.…

    There are quite a few imaginative geographies that can be found from many authors completing travel writings relating to Latin America. To fully understand where these writings are coming from, one must first know what is meant by ‘imaginative geographies.’ According to the author, Gareth Jones, imaginative geographies can be categorized by connections of global cultural flows as ethnoscapes, mediascapes, technoscapes, finanscapes and ideoscapes. Ethnoscapes are described as people who shift the world in which we live, also known as tourists, refugees, guestworkers and students. A technoscape for Latin America is the use of technology and information moving around the world about the geographic…

    Deforestation In Bolivia

    • 1675 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Bolivia has one of the highest deforestation rates in South America, second only to Brazil. This effect is seen particularly in eastern Bolivia where the interregional effects of Brazilian policy and infrastructure can easily be felt across the border. Bolivia, as well as other regions in the Amazon are largely inhabited by a wide variety of indigenous cultures that depend on the natural resources of a region for their livelihood and existence. The largest factor in rapid deforestation and desertification of natural resources in Bolivia is the interference of national and international entities in the politics and production of resources at the local and regional level. There are four important social groups, which can then be explained in…
