A study that aims to rank the 50 most beautiful countries in the world put Peru in 18th place and fifth in the Americas, behind Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, and the United States.
The study from the website money.co.uk analyzes the amount of natural wonders in each location, from coral reefs and tropical rainforests to volcanoes, glaciers, mountain ranges, and more.
“While beauty is ultimately subjective, it is clear that these countries have a lot to offer visitors, whether you prefer adventuring in the mountains or relaxing by the coast,” says Sal Haqqi, personal finance editor at money.co.uk, according to an article from Forbes.
Coming in at the top of the list as the most beautiful place on earth is Indonesia, which has a natural beauty score of 7.77 out of 10. Indonesia is home to more than 17,000 islands.
“And just off the shores of these islands, you will find over 31,000 square miles of coral reef, teeming with life, much of which can be explored from the popular province of Bali,” Haqqi remarked.
In addition to its impeccable mountain ranges, a charming jungle, as well as natural wonders such as Machupicchu or the Colca Canyon, Peru has a rich and extensive culture that is part of the attractions sought by thousands of tourists who arrive there every day.
