How to make a blank Peru map
- Open the Peru map. Start from the panel above, which is already the editor. What a click paints here is one department. There are 26 of them, all listed further down this page: check that list before you start, it is the whole of what this map can colour.
- Write the legend before you paint. Add one entry per category and say what it means in your own words. The legend is part of the exported image, so a map that made sense to you at midnight still makes sense to someone who sees it cold.
- Fill the departments. Every click paints one department. Fill everything in a baseline colour first and then paint the exceptions, or paste a table of departments and values and let the colour scale do it.
- Export or publish. Download a PNG, JPEG, SVG or PDF at the size you ask for, or publish for a link with a preview image.
What you can do
- All 26 departments, each a separate clickable shape.
- Peru beside Bolivia, Brazil and Chile and the rest of its neighbours on one map, from the custom map link below.
- Flat colours, or stripe, dot and checkerboard patterns for the categories that would otherwise look alike.
- Colour by numbers: paste a table of names and values and the map fills itself in on a scale you choose.
- A legend you write yourself, with a heading, dragged wherever the map has room.
- Names or codes printed on the departments, on or off, in a colour you pick.
- Backgrounds, borders and border colours are all editable, or turn the borders off entirely.
- PNG, JPEG, SVG and PDF export at the end, with nothing to install first.
Make your own blank Peru map
The departments of Peru you have been to
Lived in, visited, only changed buses in. A department-level map of Peru is the right grain for a country most people know as one shape: it shows the coast, the interior and the border departments as different places, which is how anyone who has been there thinks of them.
Results and rankings by department
An election, a football rivalry, where a dish comes from, the departments a company or a road reaches. Paint each department by category or paste a table of numbers and let the scale grade them; either way, write the legend so a stranger can read the map without you.
Where you have been in Peru
The departments you have visited, lived in, worked in or only passed through. Three colours and a legend that says what each one means, and 26 shapes is small enough to finish in one sitting.
Peru with its neighbours
The world map can carry Peru and Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador on one board, each country coloured separately, and can open any of them into their own regions. That is the map for anything that does not stop at a border.

Common questions
How many departments are on the Peru map?
26, every one of them a separate shape you can click and fill. The list above runs from Amazonas to Ucayali. They are the first-level divisions of Peru as the source data draws them, credited on our credits page, so a merged or disputed area appears the way the source has it.
Which countries border Peru on this map?
Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador. That is read from the world map's own geometry: the countries whose outlines share the border with Peru. Each one has a map page of its own, linked above.
Is Peru on a bigger map here too?
Yes. Peru is one of the countries on the South America map, and on the world map, where it can be opened into its own departments beside its neighbours at theirs.
Can I colour something smaller than a department?
Not on this map. It works at department level, which is the level nearly every map of Peru is drawn at.
Can I put the names on the map itself?
Yes. Region labels can be switched on for the whole map, in a colour and size you choose, and you can write your own text for any department where the real name is too long to fit. On a busy map most people leave the labels off and let the legend carry it.
Do I need an account?
No. The editor opens straight away, the map stays in this browser while you work, and exporting an image never asks you to sign in. An account only matters if you want to publish a map at a link other people can open.
Can I use the exported map commercially?
The image is yours, and we ask for no credit: the only mark on it is the site address in small type in the bottom corner, and nothing is drawn across the map. Nothing from the map data is added to the picture either, because we only ship boundary data whose licence is satisfied by naming it on our credits page, so there is no credit line to print and nothing for you to pass on. Anything you add to the map stays your own.
