Someone has written:
"Elephants are native to Africa and Asia, there are no elephants in Peru unless they are African or Asian elephants in zoos."
This is incorrect. There exists a Peruvian elephant that is known as the Peruvian Elephant. This creature is neither African or Asian but is a pachyderm peculiar to Peru. Three breeding pairs were purchased from Peru by Captain Albert Threshfield, a former officer of the Yorkshire Infantry Regiment, The Green Howards, in 1793. In September of 1874, the first Peruvian elephants were hard at work hauling lead ore in the Yorkshire Dales from Swaledale to Richmond.
The Peruvian elephant is [they still exist!] a dwarf compared with its African and Asian relatives. It grows as large as an Irish Wolfhound in height, but is stockier, well muscled, affable, and hard working, capable of carrying huge packs of ingots, which it did uncomplainingly.
The Peruvian has an extremely dexterous trunk and a stocky, powerful build. It also has clawed feet thaty were as useful for climbing the Yorkshire heights as they were for scaling the Peruvian Andes.
The elephants adapted easily to Yorkshire and new generations of calves were born there. The animals became favourites of the lead miners, and several were adopted as domestic pets when their working lives were over.
When the railway came close enough to the lead mines in 1840, the elephants were let free, and their descendants live today in the wild places of Swaledale. Two bouts of disease reduced their numbers. The first was the 1920 outbreak of foot and mouth disease that reduced the great herds, and then an outbreak, believed to be myxomatosis, in the late 1950s reduced the herds even further.
In the Yorkshire magazine, The Dalesman, of April, 1993, Russel Turner in, 'The Elephants of Swaledale,' pp. 50-52, writes:
"A few survive and continue to live high in the hills of Swaledale., far from their South American homeland. Shy and secretive they may be, but they are still there for someone who knows where to find them."
I trust that this puts Peruvian elephants back on the map. It has been the fashion to deny their existence for a couple of hundred years, but you can see them for yourself if you will venture into the high Andes or even into Swaledale.
According to wikipedia "The Peruvian population, estimated at 28 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Europeans, Africans and Asians."
How long does it take to get to Peru from England?

But some include overnight stays in a hotel or at the airport and it can take upto 30 hours.
All depends on how much you pay,direct much more expensive but shorter time,vice versa.
Spanish conquerors of Mexico and Peru during the 16th century?
Several Spanish conquerors (or, 'conquistadores') led Spain's campaigns of conquest in the American regions of Mexico and Peru in the 16th century. Foremost was Hernan Cortes (1485-1547), who was instrumental in the conquest of Mexico, although others would complete the work that he began. In Peru, it was Francisco Pizarro (d. 1541) who led the primary campaign that brought most of the region into Spanish control.
Because of how Peru is so poor then their houses wouldn't be as good as American houses. So saying that I would say Peru's houses are made out of stones or what ever they can find as "building blocks". The houses look old and dirty like a old run down building.

What are some differences between Peru and Mexico?
Mexico is a Latin American nation with a large Spanish-speaking, Roman Catholic population while Australia is an Anglo-speaking, Oceanian island-nation with a majority of English-speaking population and a more balanced mix of religions (Roman Catholic: 26% Protestant 19%). The ethnic make up of Mexico is predominantly of mestizo (60%) and Amerindian people (30%) while Australians are predominantly Europeans (92%) and on a lesser degree, of Asian (7%) or Aboriginal background (1%).
Mexico has more affinity to countries such as Spain, Argentina or Chile while Australia has a culture more similar to that of England, Canada or South Africa.
Australia is flat, but Mexico has rugged mountains. They both have deserts, but kangaroos don't live in Mexico. Mexico City is the capital of Mexico. Canberra is the capital of Australia.
Why do Mexico and Peru have primarily Catholic populations?
When the Spanish conquered Mexico in the 16th century, they completely destroyed all native civilizations, replacing their original religions, customs and languages with their own. That is why most Mexicans are Catholic, speak Spanish and have many common customs to Spanish people, such as Day of the Dead or Corridas de Toros (Bullfighting).
