Can I quiz the capitals?

Yes. “Choose the capital” highlights each of the 24 departments and offers four capitals; Callao, whose capital is the port itself, is not asked there. “Find it from its capital” asks the 10 departments whose capital has a name of its own, from Chachapoyas (Amazonas) to Pucallpa (Ucayali); the rest are greyed, as Arequipa or Cusco would give the answer away.

A name (or a capital) appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.

Yes, as a place of its own beside Lima: the 24 departments and Callao make the 25 questions of “Find the place” (“Choose the capital” leaves it out, its capital being Callao itself). It is small, so zoom in with the + button or two fingers to click it.

Peru quiz: 25 places to find, 10 departments from their capital

A student preparing a Spanish class project plays “Find the place”: Peru’s 24 departments and Callao, 25 places, each asked once in a random order. Lima is one place; Callao, a small province on the coast beside it, is its own, so zoom in for it.

“Find it from its capital” asks only these 10: the others’ capitals share their name (Arequipa, Cusco, Puno…) or give it away (Cerro de Pasco), so they are greyed.
“Choose the capital” asks the 24 departments (not Callao, whose capital is the port itself): one is highlighted and four capitals are offered; the second wrong pick shows the answer.
Watch the Huan- names: Huancayo is the capital of Junín, not of Huancavelica, and Huánuco is a department of its own.

Department	Capital asked in “Find it from its capital”
Amazonas	Chachapoyas
Áncash	Huaraz
Apurímac	Abancay
Junín	Huancayo
La Libertad	Trujillo
Lambayeque	Chiclayo
Loreto	Iquitos
Madre de Dios	Puerto Maldonado
San Martín	Moyobamba
Ucayali	Pucallpa

The end gives the score (places found at the first click, out of 25), the time and the ones missed; “Practise the ones I missed” replays only those.

How it works

Choose whether to find the places or find them from their capitals.
Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.
