The Country
Peru has become a stable democracy in the past decade with a constitutional government. Adoptions have become carefully regulated by the central government and the process has become much more standardized than in years past. Peru is a South America country with three different natural geographical regions: Coast, Sierra (Andes) and Jungle. The Coastal region is located on the Pacific Ocean between Ecuador to the north and Chile to the south.
Adoptive families are encouraged to use their time in Peru both to bond with their child and to become familiar with the rich culture and beauty of the country. It is also a great opportunity for a family to learn a little Spanish; shop for Peruvian crafts; visit ancient Inca ruins; the Colca, a canyon twice as deep as the Grand Canyon; the beautiful city of Arequipa; rain forests, and a waterfall that seems to fall from the clouds. You can also fly to Cuzco and take a train to Machu Picchu which is definitely one of the most beautiful and remarkable places to see in the world. Your trip to Peru will itself be a memorable experience.
