Practice Peru region capitals by matching each region to a city anchor. Start with same-name pairs such as Lima-Lima, Callao-Callao, Ica-Ica, Arequipa-Arequipa, Moquegua-Moquegua, Tacna-Tacna, Cajamarca-Cajamarca, Huanuco-Huanuco. Then work through harder non-matching pairs, including Lambayeque-Chiclayo, La Libertad-Trujillo, Ancash-Huaraz, Pasco-Cerro de Pasco, Junin-Huancayo, Apurimac-Abancay, Amazonas-Chachapoyas, San Martin-Moyobamba, Loreto-Iquitos, Ucayali-Pucallpa, Madre de Dios-Puerto Maldonado. The quiz is most useful after map review because the capitals span coastal ports, highland cities, and Amazon hubs such as Chachapoyas, Moyobamba, Iquitos, Pucallpa, and Puerto Maldonado.

What is the capital of Peru?

Lima is the national capital of Peru and the capital listed for Lima. It is the main starting point before adding Callao and the other regional capitals.

Which Peru capital pairs are easiest?
