Flag of Peru
The flag of Peru is composed of three horizontal stripes, where the side two are red and the middle one is white. In the middle of the white stripe is a shield from the national coat of arms, which was designed by José Georgio Parades before 1825. The shield is divided into three fields, the first of which depicts a vicuña – the national animal of Peru, which belongs to the same family as the camel. Next to the vicuna is a portrait of the quince tree, from which the alkaloid quinine is extracted, which is used in the fight against malaria. In the lower part of the coat of arms, on a double-sized field, there is a horn full of money, which is supposed to point to the mineral wealth of the country.

Peru: Lima
According to Abbreviation Finder, the capital of Peru is Lima. It is by far the largest city in the country. 8.8 million people live here. In the next largest city, Arequipa, there are “only” 1 million inhabitants. Lima’s old town with many beautiful buildings from the colonial era belongs to the world heritage of UNESCO . Because so many people are moving to Lima and there is no living space, large slums have emerged on the outskirts. They are called here pueblos jóvenes , which means “young villages”.
