Peru covers about 1,285,216 square kilometres, which puts it 19th by area among the 195 countries on GlobeQuizz. It shares land borders with 5 countries: Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, and Ecuador. The largest of these neighbours by area is Brazil. Other countries in South America include Argentina, Venezuela, and Paraguay. Its flag is easy to confuse with the flag of Canada, a classic trap in the Hard level of the flags quiz. To practise flags, capitals and currencies, play the Americas quiz on GlobeQuizz, which mixes Peru with the other countries of the same region.
