Peruvian cuisine is as complex as the history of this country located on the western coast of South America. Peru's varied topography, which ranges from the western coastal plain to the high and rugged Andes to the eastern lowland jungle of the Amazon basin, makes for a cuisine rich in both seafood and meat. The food of Peru is dominated by the 'sun' cuisine of the Incas, whose love of everything yellow is legendary. The most popular dish, ceviche, is made of fish, shrimp, or scallops marinated in lime juice.
