In the language of the Quecha Indians, Peru means "land of abundance." Situated on the Pacific coast of South America just south of the equator, it was home to the great Inca empire which was destroyed in the early 16th century by Spaniards who pillaged the region of gold and silver to build their own empire. Today, Peru's abundance is measured in natural resources. Its fisheries are some of the world's richest. The country is also home to one of the world's oldest petroleum industries and is one of the top producers of silver, lead, and zinc. Peru's geography if varied, from arid coastal plains to the majestic peaks of the Andes mountains and the tropical forests of the Amazon basin.
