Peruvian Departments Quiz

Learn Peru’s 24 departments

This Peruvian departments quiz follows department boundaries, from the Pacific coast across the Andes to the Amazon basin. Callao is a constitutional province rather than a department, so it appears in neutral shading and is not an answer.

Lima means the whole department in this quiz, including Lima Province. This is a department map, not a map of regional-government jurisdictions: Lima Province has a special administrative arrangement that is not drawn as a separate target here.

Use Tumbes and Piura to anchor the northwest, Ica and Arequipa along the southern coast, and Tacna at the southern end. Loreto occupies a large area in the northeast; Ucayali and Madre de Dios help you distinguish the eastern departments farther south.

Cusco is both a city name and a department name, but the answer here is the entire department. Puno lies beside Lake Titicaca, while Apurímac and Ayacucho are useful neighbouring reference points to learn around Cusco. Try ten departments first, then all 24.
