Peru's regions are large enough that the name of one narrows a round down to the size of a European country, and no more. The province is the tier that fixes a town: 196 of them, each a few hundred to a few thousand square kilometres on the coast and the Andes and enormous in the jungle, and each with the name of its own capital in most cases, which is how Peruvians say where they are from.
The map has all 196 provinces. Each belongs to exactly one of the 26 first-level units, which are the groups here, so the regions game is the place to start and this one is the same map at full resolution. Callao and Lima Province are each a single province and a group of one.
Names repeat. Several provinces share the name of their region, such as Cusco, Piura and Ica, and Lima is both a region and a province of its own, so the game tells them apart by where they are.
A few provinces are small enough on the map that their tap area is widened beyond their shape, and Callao is the smallest of them.
Urubamba is the Sacred Valley province, northwest of the city of Cusco, and it holds Machu Picchu. The Inca citadel is the thing most players already know, and the province around it is a good place to start in the south.
Lima Province is the city and its suburbs, and it is not part of the Lima Region around it. It is the one province in a group of its own, and the most populous in the country.
Yunguyo is a small province on the Peruvian shore of Lake Titicaca, next to the Bolivian border. It is the narrow one to find on the edge of the lake in Puno.
196. That includes Lima Province and Callao, which are each a single province, and the provinces of the 24 other departments.
The capital is Lima Province, run by its own metropolitan municipality, and the Lima Region around it holds nine other provinces. The game tells them apart by their group.
The tier below the province, of which Peru has about 1,900. That is far more than a quiz of this kind can carry, so the province is the lowest tier this game covers.
Usually, though not always: Maynas has Iquitos for a capital and Tambopata has Puerto Maldonado.
The tier above this one is Peru Regions, which is the quicker game to learn first. For another country at this level, see Chile Provinces.
