Hi everybody, the last time I spoke about the jungle in Peru, now I will speak about the mountains in Peru that is called Sierra, we have a big mountains this group of mountains that travel from South to North is called Cordillera of the Andes, and divide to Peru in two parts, Some of the world's highest mountains can be found here, like The Huascaran (6,768 meters) a
nd Yerupaja (6,634 meters). In the south of Peru there is a canyon Called Colca Canyon (3,400 meters) and is twice deeper than the Colorado Canyon making it the deepest canyon of the earth. The temperature in the nigth is about -4 celsius degrees and in the day can reach 24 celsius degrees in the sierra of Peru. Also in the part south of Peru can be found the highest navigable lake of the world called Titicaca.
