94 SELLING LATIN AMERICA Three mountain ranges run through this country between which are found extremely fertile and productive plateaus, the scene of much of the country’s agricultural develop ment. The land from the coast to the foot hills of the Andes is as a rule barren, and were it not for the Humboldt Current which runs close to the shore and cools it, would be ex ceedingly tropical. On the eastern slopes of the Andes, as they stretch toward Brazil and Bolivia, there is a wealth of verdure, vegeta tion and virgin forests, due to the heavy rains and the tropical sun’s action. This comprises three-fourths of Peru’s territory. The table lands are cool and enjoy a temperate climate. From June to November, the days are marked by a fine drizzling rain, particularly along the coast but for the rest of the year rain coats and umbrellas are not needed. Peru claims a population of 4,500,000 but I seriously doubt if it will reach 3,500,000. Of this number fully half are unlettered, igno rant Indians, lacking in ambition, requiring few necessities and living most primitively.
