Wealth Distribution in South America: Peru

BIO: Where the Project begins

Recently, I traveled to Peru with my church youth group with the initial purpose of helping those in need. While there, the plan was to build houses for the Shipibo tribe whose houses had been destroyed by an inundacion (Flood). Along with this, we were to volunteer at local orphanages to play games, specifically futbol, with the kids. The whole experience there seemed surreal, and it wasn't until looking back on the trip that the wealth distribution seemed very unbalanced to me. From the high rise skyscrapers in Lima to the shantytowns on the border of Brazil, the entire country seemed to only have wealth in a few areas.

Initial Discoveries

Upon arrival in Lima after an exhausting ten hour flight across the equator, I was surprised to have landed in a city that resembled a cleaner, nicer, and more planned out version of Pittsburgh. After getting my bags and walking to the nearest hotel, I met up with my fellow travelers to take a 2:00 a.m walk in Lima. Curiosity drove us outside only to admire the thirty story towers that stood in front of us. Nearly seven hours later, I was standing in an airport made of wood that was no bigger than a parking lot. The differences between the two areas were staggering.

First Look

At a first look on a website such as lonelyplanet or perureports.com, the statistics are very easy to find, but shed little light on why Peru is how it is today. 20% of the people in Peru hold 50% of the total wealth. And it is in Lima that poverty is substantially lower than the rest of the country. Sixty percent of the poverty in Peru is held in the countryside, the border between the Andes and Brazilian territory. The other 20% is split up among mountain villages and towns, leaving the coast (Where Lima and Nazca are) with only 20% of the people left in poverty. This seems uneven, considering that the majority of the population lives in towns where the climate is nicer along the coast, as opposed to the jungle regions along the Brazilian border. A simple answer to this question would be that the geography of Peru does not favor travel to the innermost regions compared to the coast, where boats, planes, and cars can easily maneuver. However, to find a better reason as to why the countryside is neglected, the history of Peru must be taken into consideration.
