List of metropolitan areas of Peru

The following is a list of the most populous Peruvian metropolitan areas with over 300,000 inhabitants.

For city populations, see list of cities in Peru.

Note that the populations of metropolitan areas are not city populations but rather a combination of a main large city and many other smaller satellite cities. In Peru, cities with a population of more than 500,000 and with a metropolitan development plan are considered metropolises.[1][2] As of the 2007 census, these cities are Lima, Arequipa, and Trujillo.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
