Perusina, Perusino, and Franz Discover Northern Peru
This isn't a travel itinerary, but a collection full of cases, riddles, and crazy discoveries. Northern Peru Coast, Piura Region, Northern Peru Highlands, and Green Northern Peru lead into four very different adventure worlds.
"How are we supposed to know where to start?" asks Perusino. Franz sniffs the map. Perusina grins: "Where something goes wrong first."
Four Regions, Countless Adventures
Northern Peru never looks the same for long. The wind whistles by the sea, Piura alternates between desert and mountains, fog swallows entire paths in the highlands, and in the green north, it usually rustles exactly where Franz isn't looking.
Northern Peru Coast
Warm Pacific, mangroves, surf spots, harbors, desert, and fishing boats. Adventures here often begin with sand in your shoes and end in the middle of the waves.
Piura Region
City hustle and bustle, chifles, ceramics, dry forest, desert, and mountain lagoons. Franz knows this area particularly well, which doesn't mean he never gets lost.
Northern Peru Highlands
Mountain towns, caves, fortresses, waterfalls, and misty paths. Here, a case can be centuries old and still suddenly become dangerous.
Green Northern Peru
Waterfalls, coffee slopes, orchids, lagoons, and rainforest. Mototaxis chase cocoa sacks, and sometimes even the trees run away.
The Envelope with Four Colors
On the map are four strips: Blue for the Northern Peru Coast, Yellow for the Piura Region, White for the Northern Peru Highlands, and Green for Green Northern Peru. On the back, there's only one sentence: Find out what holds Northern Peru together.
Where Does Your Trail Begin?
You decide: a burning coast, a disappeared waterfall, a mysterious fortress, or a forest where even the trees are suspicious.

Perusina asks. Perusino meanwhile checks if the answers are edible.
How is Northern Peru categorized here?
The adventure world consists of four areas: Northern Peru Coast, Piura Region, Northern Peru Highlands, and Green Northern Peru. Each area connects places with similar landscapes and unique types of adventures.
Are these travel guides for children?
No. Each location page tells its own adventure. Real characteristics of the place drive the plot, so children become curious while reading and learn something about Northern Peru along the way.
Do I have to read the adventures in a specific order?
No. You can start on the coast, in the Andes, or in the rainforest. Only Chachapoyas and Kuélap together form a two-part story.
Who belongs to the adventure team?
Perusina observes carefully and asks questions. Perusino finds unusual solutions and surprisingly often something to eat. Franz, the little Sechura fox, usually discovers clues by accident.
What can children discover here?
They encounter historical events, animals, plants, crafts, landscapes, and legends. However, the story is always the most important thing: searching, rescuing, pursuing, combining, and sometimes making thorough mischief.
