Peru climbed 7 positions in the list of attractive countries for mining investment, which is created by Fraser Institute.

In the world ranking of countries with optimistic mining investment opportunities, Peru ranked 30th out of the 112 included, according to El Comercio.

The Fraser Institute looked for the most attractive countries for mining in the world, according to data from 2014, and ranked Peru 30th with 69.6 points.

Peru placed 2nd of all Latin American countries after Chile who finished with 77.2 points.

Peru is a global leader in the mining industry, which makes it a natural choice for international investors. 

It is one of the world's biggest producers of base and precious metals.

Currently, it is the third largest producer of copper and zinc in the world. Peru is also a major producer of gold, silver, among other minerals.

Despite mineral price volatility, uncertain demand and poor market conditions, mining investment continues to flow into the country and is one of the key motors of economic growth.

Settle into a long shared table on the second level of the quirky split-level Pollos a la Brasa El Chalan, and the scent of cumin and smoke is intoxicating. All that aroma is coming from a battle-worn stainless steel oven, which you can see through a small kitchen window, holding rows of rotating golden chickens on spits over crackling charcoals. These birds - pollos a la brasa - are the specialty of the house, and one of Peru's most beloved dishes. This is East Boston, but you might as well be in a village in the Andes. 

Nestled in one of the driest locations on earth, is Huacachina; a town complete with trees, hotels, shops and even an oasis library - tranquil!
