Excavate part of Peru near this (7)

I believe the answer is:

unearth

'excavate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'part of peru near this' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'UNEARTH' is hidden within 'peru near this'.

(Other definitions for unearth that I've seen before include "Excavate, dig up" , "Dig up or find for haunter" , "Disconnect terminal" , "Discover" , "Dig up - uncover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
