Peru

     Lima, the capital of Peru. A fascinating place where it makes a mark for itself in originality. The coastal is characterized by their national identity, which is wealthy. While the interior is more traditional and in poverty. Is usually left out socially and economically. Seems like a great place to get away from the world to get a moment alone in the interiors. 
     There are some downsides to the interior for the people there, they are underprivileged and discriminated. Their traditional ways are also being destructed with the mining and oil development. The interior social factors also disrupt the Peruvian culture. Here they suffer the problem of low economy and influence. 45% of indigenous people have no education so there are no job opportunities for them ("Peru-Contemporary Issues"), this is part of why they have low economic value. 
     Problems in the coast are many people migrating from the interiors too quickly. It causes shortages of water, electricity, sewer system, infrastructure, job opportunities, and shelter. Some people would have to make their homes out of cardboard, metal scraps, or canes.
    So the interior seem very rough and underprivileged it would be great to start a missionary trip there or just help out in general. Along with the coastal would be great for family vacations or just a luxury trip on your own. You can visit the famous Machu Picchu.
