How to spot Peru from satellite imagery
Peru has a dry Pacific coastal strip, high Andean terrain inland, and Amazon lowlands to the east. Rivers crossing the coastal desert create narrow corridors of cultivated land. A regional view makes the change across the Andes clearer than a single field or hillside.
Follow a coastal river inland from the Pacific. Compare the narrow green valley with the surrounding dry slopes, then look east of the Andes.
