provincial Peru


Explanation:
El Perú profundo refers to Peru beyond Lima and the major cities. Darkest Peru sounds to me as though it has slightly derogatory overtones, which are not implied here.

en las entrañas del Perú profundo
in the innermost depths of Peru


Explanation:
It's not Perú profundo, but las entrañas of such - possibly a euphemism for the Peruvian Jungle. So the translation has to collocate as a whole.

The Peruvian theme also has echoes of Peter Shaffer's stage play and film made out of the Royal Hunt of the Sun that, like his controversial stage plays of Equus and Amadeus, may have 'embellished' the historical facts.

Example sentence(s):
  • The Royal Hunt of the Sun recreates the story of Francisco Pizarro's conquest of the Inca empire in Peru, with a group of only 167 men, in 1532.
