Natural resources have created Peru 's infrastructure jump in growth in recent years. Peru has been building roads that go through different types of terrain to include mountains, rainforest and urban areas. Peruvians have updated their railway systems that transport civilians to and from their jobs all throughout the country. Although Peru is wealthy; unfortunately the majority of this income from these natural resources does not make it to the miners and farmers that work long days in order to acquire the resources for global sale. Many of Peru 's citizens still live in poverty despite the country’s vastly growing economy. Although most of the major cities in Peru have urbanized structures and modern buildings, most of the citizens still live in mud huts or adobe houses due to the giant earthquake that happened in 2007.
