Countries that border Peru
5 land neighbours: Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
5 neighbours to keep in the right order.
1 country in the Americas has more than its 5 land borders; it is the same as Argentina, Bolivia and Colombia. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 4 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Brazil is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Americas map with Peru, and on the world map with everyone else.
