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.
Its 5 land borders are joint 2nd-most in the Americas — level with 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 deal on the Americas board alongside Peru, and on the world board with everyone else in the Americas.
