– The Amazon rainforest covers 60% of Peru, an area of 782,880.55 km²                                                       – The Andean cloud forest extends from Columbia into Peru and Ecuador                                                      – The Paramo grasslands extend for 30,000 km²  (11,600 square miles), with paramo wolves                       spectacaled bears and white tailed deer found here.                                                                                       – Tropical deciduous forests, which lie in the north of the country and south of Ecuador                        – Marine coastal and wetland habitats – roughly 70% of Perus biodiversity is off the coast
