Peru Address Format
Peruvian addresses go from smallest unit to largest: recipient, street name + number (with interior 'Dpto.'/'Int.' when applicable), then the distrito (district). The last line before the country combines the city/province and the 5-digit código postal (e.g. 'Lima 15001'). The department is usually omitted because the postal code already identifies the region.
