Peru (Spanish: Perú, Quechua: Piruw, Aymara: Piruw), officially the Republic of Peru (Spanish: República del Perú, pronounced [reˈpuβlika ðel peˈɾu] ( listen)), is a country in western South America. It is bordered on the north by Ecuador and Colombia, on the east by Brazil, on the southeast by Bolivia, on the south by Chile, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.

Peruvian territory was home to the Norte Chico civilization, one of the oldest in the world, and to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty, which included most of its South American colonies. After achieving independence in 1821, Peru has undergone periods of political unrest and fiscal crisis as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.

Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. Its geography varies from the arid plains of the Pacific coast to the peaks of the Andes mountains and the tropical forests of the Amazon Basin. It is a country with a high Human Development Index score and a poverty level around 36%. Its main economic activities include agriculture, fishing, mining, and manufacturing of products such as textiles.

The Peruvian population, estimated at 29 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Europeans, Africans and Asians. The main spoken language is Spanish, although a significant number of Peruvians speak Quechua or other native languages. This mixture of cultural traditions has resulted in a wide diversity of expressions in fields such as art, cuisine, literature, and music.

How to call cellphones (or other phones) in Lima, Peru nowadays?
Q. Now, I am aware that from the United States and all that jazz you call 011-51-blah blah blah for the calls to Lima, Peru. What I want to know is what would be the rest of this code for calling the yet revised AGAIN numbers for cellular telephones in Lima, Peru. Usually the ones on the MoviStar network, although I would not rule out the changing of other networks as well. Thanks in advance for any advice. An exact sample number would be greatly appreciated.

A. let's see, in Lima since april the cell phone numbers have 9 digits, starting with 99, so you should do the next: - 011 - 51 - 9 - the previous 8 digit number, or what is the same: - 011 - 51 - the new 9 digit number (in Lima it only varies the first digit, which is always 9) for example, if you want to call the previous 9975-1234 that now is 9-9975-1234 you would have to do the next: - 011 - 51 - 9- 99751234 in any province, it would go this way, for example cusco: - 011 - 51 - the nine digit number, which will start with 9, and then the next two digits will be the city code, in this case, it will be 84 again, for example, if you want to call the previous 975-1234 that now is 9-84-751234, you would have to do the next: - 011 - 51 -… [cont.]
