The administrative divisions of Peru have included since 2002 a regional level consisting of departments or regions (departamentos; informally regiones), and a local level consisting of provinces (provincias), which are further divided into districts (distritos). In addition, below the district level, the constitution permits the creation of populated centers (Centros poblados) by provincial governments.
