Provinces of Peru
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The provinces of Peru, known in Spanish as provincias, are the second-level administrative subdivisions of the country. They are divided into districts (Spanish: distritos).
There are 195 provinces in Peru, grouped into 25 regions except for the Lima Province which does not belong to any region. This makes an average of 7 provinces per region. The region with the fewest provinces is Callao (one) and the region with the most is Ancash (twenty).
While provinces in the sparsely populated Amazon rainforest of eastern Peru tend to be larger, there is a large concentration of them in the north-central area of the country.
The table below shows all provinces with their capitals and the region in which their are located. The UBIGEO code uniquely identifies each province. Capitals in bold are also a regional capital. Provinces in which the regions capital is located all have an UBIGEO code ending in 01.
