If you use GoogleEarth you will probably appreciate these placenames for 100,000+ “centros poblados” in Peru that you can link to directly and display in Google Earth.

Connect by Adding a Network link to one of these KMZ (zipped KML) files by Department.
Zoom way in or there are just too many names to see.

To have all the pueblitos in the dept of Puno, for example, labeled in google earth go to

Add… > Network Link > name it "Puno" and for Link: paste in

http://www.mapaspects.org/gis/data/vector/south_america/peru/KMZ/pueblos_puno.kmz

The whole country is online here

http://www.mapaspects.org/gis/data/vector/south_america/peru/KMZ/pueblos_todo_pais.kmz

But the file is large (2 Mb) so it’s better to download that file locally to your hard drive first, I think.

Also have a look at these highly detailed road networks.
These larger files should probably be downloaded locally

Highways (2mb): http://www.mapaspects.org/gis/data/vector/south_america/peru/KMZ/vias1.kmz

Major Roads (11mb): http://www.mapaspects.org/gis/data/vector/south_america/peru/KMZ/vias2.kmz

Minor Roads: (765kb) http://www.mapaspects.org/gis/data/vector/south_america/peru/KMZ/vias3.kmz

the trail system (3.4mb) http://www.mapaspects.org/gis/data/vector/south_america/peru/KMZ/vias4.kmz

and the railroad (70kb) http://www.mapaspects.org/gis/data/vector/south_america/peru/KMZ/vias_ferr.kmz

enjoy!
