Peru drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Peru has over 90 distinct micro-climates, making it one of the most ecologically diverse nations on the planet. Lima is the world's second-largest desert capital after Cairo.
