The lowest part of Peru is in the far northeast here the fertile land and jungles are irrigated by tributaries of the massive Amazon River. The tropical Amazon basin - a heavily forested, relatively flat area, occupying about three-fifths of Peru and stretching to its borders with Brazil and Chile. To the east, the Andean Highlands slope gently down into the rivers and jungles of the Amazon.
