 The Republic of Peru is located in western South America, bordering the Pacific Ocean on the west, Ecuador and Colombia on the north, Brazil on the east, southeast and south, and Chile on the south.
The west of Peru is a coastal plain, the central area is the Andes Mountains and the eastern part of Peru is covered by the Amazonian rainforest. Peru is considered the cradle of the Inca empire.
Lima was the capital of Spanish colonial and modern Peru, and Cusco was the capital of the Incas. Machu Picchu, the most recognized image of the Incas was built as an estate of an Inca emperor, the site chosen for its sacred landscape features in alignment with key astronomical events.

Quipu (Spanish spelling), a recording devices used by the Inca, usually consisted of colored spun and plied threads from llama or alpaca hair or cotton cords with knots that encoded tax, census and events data. The knots seem to represent a base 10 positional system. Some kuipu (kuipu is word for "knot" in Quechua, the native Inca language) may have just a few strands, others have up to 2,000 strands.
North American indigenous peoples' wampum was also used in a similar way.
