The geoperu package provides a convenient interface to access official spatial datasets of Peru directly from R. These data are collected from the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) of Peru.
You can install the development version of geoperu as follows:
To access spatial information of districts from any province in Peru, you can use the get_geo_peru() function.

Here’s a basic example of how to visualize the data:
library(patchwork)
library(ggplot2)
plot1 <- cusco |>
ggplot() +
geom_sf() +
theme_bw()
plot2 <- cusco_simplified |>
ggplot() +
geom_sf() +
theme_bw()
plot1 + plot2
geoperu also provides access to spatial information of natural protected areas in Peru. These areas, managed and declared by the National Service of Natural Protected Areas (SERNAP), encompass a diverse range of ecosystems. The get_anp_peru() function allows users to download spatial data representing these protected areas directly into their R environment.
manu <- get_anp_peru(anp = "manu")

You can customize the plot by adding additional layers, adjusting styles, and adding labels according to your specific needs.
